Disorders and clashes are reported outside the Child Protection Station | National

On Wednesday afternoon there were disorders and clashes outside the Child Protection Station in Puente Alto, in the Metropolitan region.

This, after a call emerged on social networks by the group Primera Línea de Puente Alto.

In this context, it is that a group of approximately 60 people, most of them with their faces covered, came to Concha y Toro avenue with the intention of walking down the road towards the city square.

Some have removed some of the fire extinguishers from the Transantiago buses, which stopped passing through the place due to the interruption of traffic.

A percentage of the participants began to throw stones and blunt objects at police personnel who arrived to restore public order. Public furniture and signage have also been destroyed.

From Metro they indicated that “at the moment Protectora de la Infancia L4 is closed and without train stops due to demonstrations abroad.”
