Several police were reported injured
after clashes with protesters demonstrating against the
construction of a new tram route in Bologna Thursday.
After mounting tensions all morning, police baton-charged the
activists protesting against the tram construction sites in the
Emilian capital.
The protesters reportedly attacked the police, who were trying
to defend workers, throwing sticks and stones at them, and the
officers reacted with baton charges.
Four protesters were detained.
The officers received emergency medical treatment on the spot.
