Protesters, police clash in squatters dispute

? More than 250 people were arrested Thursday at several demonstrations in Copenhagen where protesters threw cobblestones, bottles and paint at police after an anti-terror squad evicted squatters from a building, police said.

Three people were treated for injuries, including a German who was hit on the head, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Two Danes were treated for minor injuries.

The highly publicized eviction has drawn ire from the squatters and other youth, who have viewed the former theater as free public housing for years.

Onlookers clashed with hundreds of police officers shortly after the 7 a.m. eviction when a helicopter hoisted anti-terror police onto the building’s roof. Officers with anti-riot gear sealed off the surrounding streets as police brought out squatters.
