Hooded protesters turned over garbage bins in front of the Economy Ministry and set several of them on fire. Using sticks and clubs, they attacked police in riot gear. The police charged and chased demonstrators up side streets.
The hooded demonstrators, who infiltrated a mostly peaceful protest, threw smoke bombs, eggs and bottles at the ministry and broke the window of a nearby bank. Police said 15 of the most violent protesters were arrested and two policemen were injured.
In another area along the demonstration route, police defused a large firework with a bullet inside, which they said could have caused serious damage had it gone off. » | Naomi O’Leary | Sunday, October 20, 2013
