More than 200 injured in S. Korea beef protests

SKOREA: South Korean police clashed violently with protesters opposing US beef imports here Sunday, leaving more than 200 people injured, officials and witnesses said.

Police fired water cannon and wielded batons to try to control protesters, who hit back with poles and steel pipes, smashing police bus windows and spraying street fire hoses. With rocks also hurled through the air, many of the injured suffered head wounds and were taken to hospitals in ambulances, according to witnesses.

Protesters attempted to topple a police bus, and police discharged hand-held fire extinguishers to quell the violence. Seoul police reported they had arrested 55 protesters during the prolonged overnight clashes, in which 114 officers were injured, 15 of them seriously.

“Some of our troops suffered serious bone fractures, with one of them sustaining a fractured skull,” a police spokesman told AFP.

Protest organisers claimed more than 100 citizens were hurt.
