Violence erupted in Mexico City, Saturday, October 2, as scores of Mexicans took to the streets to mark the 53rd anniversary of the 1968 massacre of student protesters in Tlatelolco Square.
Demonstrators in the Mexican capital hurled rocks and projectiles at riot police, who responded by firing tear gas to disperse the angry crowd.
The police presence increased as thousands of protesters chanted and raised their fists.
The violence marks the anniversary of the Tlatelolco massacre in the capital. In 1968 security forces stormed a leftist student rally in Mexico City's Tlatelolco district, killing 30-40 people, according to officials.
