Supporters of former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan clashed repeatedly with police as he remained holed up in his Lahore residence Wednesday, defying attempts to arrest him.
Khan was ousted from office by a no-confidence vote last year, and has been snarled in a series of legal cases as he campaigns for early elections and a return to office.
Police and paramilitary rangers fought pitched battles with supporters of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party near his Zaman Park home throughout the night, firing fusillades of teargas and dodging rocks thrown by angry crowds.
Lahore police spokesman Syed Mubashir said more than 35 policemen had been injured since the operation began.
Khan issued a video shortly before dawn, sitting in front of Pakistan and PTI flags at a desk decorated with spent teargas canisters.
"They're going to come again," he said.
