Dozens of people gathered in Santiago to coordinate a protest for the release of political prisoners of the 18th of October Uprising, when a fascist identifying with the Popular Socialist Vanguard shot rubber bullets at the demonstrators along the Ahumada, injuring several. When the crowd began to attack him, police stepped in to defend the fascist, stopping the crowd from getting to him. The march then proceeded to the Forest Park in the center of the city and was met with extreme violence by the Carabineros who immediately deployed armored vehicles.
