Poland’s Independence Day celebrations turn violent again
Poland’s Independence Day celebrations were disrupted by violent riots for the third year in a row as large groups of masked young people threw stones, firecrackers and set fire to cars during a march in downtown Warsaw by thousands of nationalist activists.
Some of them tried to climb the fence at the Russian Embassy after setting a guard’s booth ablaze.
Police responded with rubber bullets, tear gas and stun grenades, while detaining several rioters. Five police officers and some other people were taken to hospital with injuries.
