Demonstrators, which have blocked off Halaskargazi Avenue, continue to resist the police, which have used cannon water shot from riot control vehicles (TOMA) to disperse the crowds. As police tried to break through the barricade they were attacked by stones and whatever else demonstrators could get their hands on. The conflict spread into side streets as well as İstiklal Avenue and lasted way into the night. Enraged demonstrators in Tarlabaşı proceeded to set fire to the construction materials being used in the redevelopment of Taksim Square. As the construction site went up in flames, crowds of protestors proceeded to chant slogans and throw stones at security officers. One woman was injured from retaliatory fire of tear gas by police. As the injured woman was taken by private vehicle to Taksim Emergence Car State Hospital, demonstrators were seen taking apart the pavement stones which they threw at police officers. Police continue to fend off protestors throughout the city.
