Police and protesters clashed outside of the Democratic Party’s national headquarters on Wednesday, forcing dozens of lawmakers to be evacuated.
Officials said the pro-Palestinian organisers calling for a ceasefire in Gaza were gathered “illegally and violently”.
Protesters said they were provoked by police in riot gear who rushed them without warning.
Six officers were treated for injuries and a protester was arrested.
