Hundreds gathered at Plaza Ñuñoa in Santiago, waving Mapuche flags and hoisting banners reading ‘Street art is not a crime!’ and other slogans. Police arrived on the scene, deploying water cannons although being repeatedly pushed out by the angry crowd.
Dozens of protesters also clashed with police at the Protectora de la Infancia metro in Puente Alto, throwing rocks at Carabineros and later setting a bus on fire.
Protesters also assembled at Maipú Plaza, clashing with police and burning a security station in the square.
Barricades were also placed across the city, including many metro stations, neighborhoods, and roads that had not had any demonstrations.
