Lebanese protesters hurled rocks at security forces blocking a road near parliament on Sunday in a second day of anti-government demonstrations after the devastating explosion in Beirut last Tuesday.
Riot police wearing body armour and carrying batons clashed with demonstrators in chaotic scenes in central Beirut.
The explosion in the port killed dozens of people, injured thousands and gutted swathes of the city. Protesters, already angry over the country's deep economic crisis, have called on the government to quit over what they say was negligence that led to the blast.
