(23 Jan 2022) A protester who lobbed a projectile toward security forces was hit by a water cannon during a demonstration against COVID-19 vaccinations and restrictions in Brussels on Sunday.
Another protester could twice be seen throwing objects during the rally.
The demonstrators had marched through the capital, before gathering in Cinquantenaire Park in the city's European quarter where they expressed their opposition to the government's virus policies.
White-helmeted police riot officers repeatedly charged after protesters who ignored instructions to disperse.
Police water cannon trucks fired powerful jets and snaking trails of gas filled the air in the Belgian capital.
Sunday's march followed demonstrations in other European capitals on Saturday that also drew thousands of people protesting vaccine passports and other requirements that European governments have imposed in hopes of ending the coronavirus pandemic.
