STORYLINE
Hundreds of people gathered in the plazas of the Chilean capital on Wednesday night banging pots and pans in support of student demands.
The demonstration followed a day of protests and violence.
Battles between riot police and small groups of hooded protesters also continued into the night, with water cannons being used to try and disperse them.
People of all ages took to the streets, banging metal poles with stones, and saucepans and pots with spoons.
The protests began early on Wednesday and police have so far arrested 102 people and four officers have been injured.
The protests, timed ahead of Sunday's presidential primaries, is aimed at demanding wider distribution of Chile's copper wealth.
It also called for reform of the education system that would put the state back in control of the mostly privatised public universities.
Chile is the world's top copper producer and its fast-growing economy is seen as fertile ground for investors.
But the country is also plagued by vast income inequality and a costly education system that many hold to be unfair.
Student leaders want to change the tax system so the rich pay more.
Two years of student marches, which often paralysed Chile's major cities has stoked expectations for change.
The dispute over education reform remains a key electoral issue ahead of the November 17 presidential election.
