Protesters interrupted the traffic in the Alameda axis: at least two detained | National

On Tuesday afternoon, a group of protesters gathered in the Alameda and Santa Rosa axis, interrupting traffic in the capital. At least two people were arrested amid the incidents.

It all began after 6:00 p.m., when an unknown number of people gathered in the vicinity of the Universidad de Chile station, specifically between Lord Cochrane and San Francisco.

Barricades were erected at the site and the surveillance cameras showed subjects using fire extinguishers preventing the passage of vehicles.

As a result of the above, Public Order Control personnel had to act to disperse the participants, who refused to leave the place.

A man was injured and had to be treated by the SAMU and referred to a health facility after slipping when he was leaving the police. This was evident in the televigilance cameras.

Due to the incidents, the authorities recommended that drivers opt for alternative routes, reporting traffic detours:
