The violence broke out when tens of thousands of people marched with signs saying ‘Save the humans’ but a group of protesters began to throw bricks at the police.

Police have been accused of overreacting to ‘sporadic street violence’ by using ‘kettling’ methods to detain protesters, similar to those during the G20 protests in April.
