Egyptian police arrest 22 over riot in coastal city
PORT SAID -- Security officials say police have arrested 22 people after hundreds went on a rampage in Egypt's coastal city of Port Said to protest death sentences for 10 residents for their part in a deadly 2012 soccer riot.
The officials say protesters set tires ablaze, torched two police cars and pelted policemen with rocks on Monday night in the Mediterranean city's low-income residential area of Fatimah al-Zahraa.
The officials spoke on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to reporters.
