Uncle Fluffy writes: "Austrian riot police attacked several hundred anti-globalisation demonstrators
protesting against a European economic summit in Salzburg and several
arrests were made, eyewitnesses said.
After a standoff lasting several hours during which there had been
sporadic violence, police with dogs waded into the crowd, striking
demonstrators with batons and making several arrests, Reuters
correspondent David Chance reported.
"Police charged and made a big push and the response from the demonstrators was to use
flagpoles to start beating on police shields," he said."
