ROSTOCK, Germany (AP) -- Masked demonstrators hurled stones and flagpoles at police during a demonstration Saturday by tens of thousands of people against the upcoming Group of Eight summit in Germany, creating chaotic scenes near the harbor of the northern port of Rostock.
Officers in helmets and full body armor at one point had to back off before a hail of stones, while other officers chased down fleeing protesters.
Police marched in a line through a harborside street to scatter demonstrators, and were pelted with stones from behind. One of the organizers pleaded for calm from a loudspeaker.
