Military withdrew from the sector of the Plaza de Puente Alto after receiving shouts and stones from protesters from the sector, who also clashed with Carabineros personnel on Wednesday afternoon.
About 20 Army officials arrived to control traffic on Avenida Concha y Toro, because the circulation of vehicles was partially interrupted, with some cars passing in the middle of the barricades lit on the street.
It was then that a group of between 50 and 60 people -some of them hooded- began to yelling “out” at them, “go to the barracks”, and calling them “assassins”; and when the troops started to retreat, some protesters started throwing stones at them.
As they were leaving one of the military shot a protester in the leg – apparently with a rubber pellet – an impact that did not cause a serious injury.
