After the country erupted into violent protests against the election of Donald Trump as president, video has emerged that purports to show a man in Chicago being beaten up for voting for the billionaire.

The 32-second clip, which is circulating on social media, shows a man in a blue hooded top and jeans, being attacked by two black men while onlookers are heard cheering.

‘You voted Trump, you voted Trump!’ spectators scream at the victim, who at one point is forced to the ground before getting back up.

The victim was dragged out of his car, which was then stolen by his attackers, according to TMZ.

Chicago police said they are investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made.

The victim was hospitalized and his car hasn't been recovered, TMZ reports.

The victim is seen trying in vain to get back inside his car throughout the video, while the woman filming the attack is heard encouraging the perpetrators, yelling: ‘Beat his a***! Don’t vote Trump!’

Another person is heard shouting: ‘You gonna pay for that s****! Don’t vote Trump!’

It’s not clear exactly when the video was filmed but it was shared online on Wednesday.

It reportedly occurred on South Kedzie Avenue and West Roosevelt Drive.

Trump’s shock ascent to the White House has sparked protests across the country – with tensions running high on both sides.

This video of an alleged attack on a white man for voting Trump came as a Muslim student reported to police that she had been viciously attacked on her way to class by two white men, one wearing a ‘Trump’ cap.

The incident occurred at around 11am on Wednesday near the University of Louisiana campus in Lafayette, police said.

The victim reported that the men had hit her with something metal, which knocked her to the ground, and hurled obscene comments at her while continuing to beat her while she was down.

They ripped her hijab, a headscarf worn by some Muslim women, before stealing her wallet, she told police.

In another incident, a gay Canadian man said he was left covered in blood after being attacked in an alley by a mob of Trump supporters on election night.

Chris Ball claims he was watching the results in a bar in Santa Monica, California, when things started to get heated and people starting making homophobic slurs, including: ‘We got a new president, you f***** faggots.’
