Some 500 youths descended on the Carcavelos beach, 15 kilometres west of Lisbon, in the middle of the afternoon. They acted in an aggressive and violent manner, the Lusa news agency reported police as saying. "Small groups of youngsters aged 12 to 20 assembled and robbed en masse those they found on the beach," said local cafe owner Helder Gabriel, who closed down his establishment for fear of attack. According to the mayor's office of neighbouring Cascais, the aggressors came from poor suburbs of Lisbon. Sixty police officers were sent to deal with the problem. They fired shots into the air, according to witnesses. Five people, including two officers, were slightly injured and there were four arrests. The rest of the mob were escorted onto trains by the police. Today was a national holiday in Portugal and tens of thousands of Lisbon residents headed for the beaches to enjoy the current good weather. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SpamWall: Mail to this addy is deleted unread unless it contains the keyword "igve". _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
