BARCELONA: Spanish police and militant elements in a thousands-strong crowd of protesters clashed in the streets of Barcelona close to police headquarters late on Saturday.
The protest began around 7:30 p.m. and as the crowd grew to around 10,000, according to police estimates, demonstrators threw a hail of bottles, balls and rubber bullets at officers, TV footage showed.
It was organized by CDR, a pro-independence pressure group that favors direct action and has cut railtracks and roads as well as trying to storm the regional parliament, Reuters reported.
