Spanish police clash with protesters, 121 hurt

None

Officials say 121 people were injured as protesters in Barcelona clashed with police officers clearing a makeshift camp set up as part of a Spain-wide demonstration against high unemployment and other problems.

 

Catalonia regional Interior Ministry spokesman Felip Puig said Friday 84 protesters and 37 police were injured after police met resistance from protesters. He did not say how many people had been arrested.

The police had previously told protesters the square had to be cleared so that cleaning services could move in to remove debris. (AP)
