Police, Protesters Clash in Madrid

Violence broke out at a mass demonstration in Madrid late Saturday when dozens of youths began throwing projectiles at police, who responded by charging at them.

Tens of thousands of people marched on the Spanish capital in a mostly peaceful protest against austerity policies, but an Agence France Presse journalist said youths later began smashing windows and setting bins on fire.
