NEARLY 200 POLICE HURT IN CLASHES WITH PROTESTERS

-

Hamburg police say 196 officers have been injured during two days of clashes with anti-globalizat­ion activists protesting the Group of 20 summit. City officials did not provide a comparable figure for injured protesters. Hamburg’s fire department said Friday that ambulances had transporte­d 60 civilians to the city’s hospitals, including 11 people who were severely injured when they fell off a wall after fleeing from riot police. While most of the thousands of demonstrat­ors were peaceful, some lit fires Friday night.
