Left-wing extremists run riot in upscale Zurich, Switzerland

Views 5

Dozens of masked extremists have clashed with police in Zurich, Switzerland, one of Europe’s wealthiest cities.

Police fired rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannon to disperse some 200 people who caused hundreds of thousands of euros worth of damage that police said was claimed by left-wing radicals.

Zurich is a major financial hub hosting several banking giants.

Cars, trees and bins were set alight in the upscale and normally peaceful city.

Police have arrested two Swiss, one Briton and a Liechtensteiner on suspicion of taking part in the unrest.
