An Australian foreign correspondent was hit by what was understood to be a rubber bullet while reporting from Los Angeles.

Channel Nine’s Lauren Tomasi is seen jumping in pain after the incident in which she was struck in the leg on Sunday.

A law enforcement officer can be seen turning towards news cameras and firing the round before Tomasi was struck.

It comes as protests against immigration raids in the Californian city continued for a third day, with vehicles set on fire and reports of looting.

A British news photographer has also been shot in the leg with a non-lethal bullet, resulting in emergency surgery being carried out.
