An anti-Trump protester has been shot after a confrontation with another man as another night of demonstrations against the President-elect took place in US cities.

Police in Portland, Oregon, said the man got out of his vehicle on the city's Morrison Bridge where he confronted and shot the protester.

Dozens of people were crossing the bridge when the shooting happened at 12.45am.

The victim does not have life-threatening injuries but the suspect is still at large, said police.

There has so far been no comment on the reasons behind the shooting.

Protesters blocked traffic and threw objects at police, who hit back with 'flash-bang' grenades and pepper spray.

Demonstrations at the shock US election result also took place in New York's Washington Square, where at least 1,200 people gathered carrying banners and chanting.

In Miami, several thousand people took to the streets, and hundreds marched in Los Angeles where they swarmed onto highways and chanted "We reject the President-elect" and "Whose streets? Our streets".

The protests have mainly been made up of young people - and more are planned this weekend in at least half a dozen other cities.

Donald Trump at first dismissed them as involving "professional" demonstrators "incited" by the media, but then changed his tune in a tweet on Friday in which he praised their "passion for our great country".

Mr Trump said he would consider leaving in place certain parts of the Affordable Care Act - known as 'Obamacare' - despite pledges to scrap it.

He told US media he might preserve at least two provisions of the healthcare system.

Mr Trump also stepped back from his threats to jail Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, telling the Wall Street Journal: "It's not something I've given a lot of thought, because I want to solve healthcare, jobs, border control, tax reform."

During his campaign, he warned he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Mrs Clinton, repeatedly calling the FBI "rigged" after it decided not to recommend charges against her for her use of a private email server as secretary of state.

Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser to Mr Trump's transition team, said he "did not discuss" the issue since his victory.

Instead, Mr Trump praised Mrs Clinton, telling 60 Minutes that she "is very strong and very smart" and that her husband Bill was "very, very, really, very nice".

He even said he might seek their advice in future, adding: "I mean, this is a very talented family. Certainly, I would certainly think about that."

But Mr Trump may find that any policy reversals risk the anger of those who voted for him.

One supporter Kathryn Stellmack, a retiree in West Palm Beach, Florida, told Reuters: "We expect him to move forward on all the items he has promised to move forward on - if he doesn't, we will hold his feet to the fire."

Another, Laura Czarniak, 56, of Michigan, said: "I know he'll build a wall (on the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration), I know he'll take care of the Syrian refugee problem, I know he'll get rid of Obamacare - there isn't a chance in hell he won't do those things."
