Anti-rail protesters clashed with police on Wednesday in northern Italy as they demonstrated against a high-speed rail link between Lyon in France and Turin.
The clash broke out when police evicted protesters who for two days had blocked a stretch of highway between Turin and Bardonecchia.
As police cleared their barricades, protesters set fire to tyres and threw rocks at police, who responded by launching tear-gas grenades.
