FOUR Danish youths faced charges yesterday after clashes at a protest marking 10 years since the demolition of the famous Copenhagen Youth House.

Nine protesters were arrested, including two minors, after they clashed with riot police on Wednesday night in the Norrebro district. Police tried to break up the march of around 1,000 people before it reached the now-vacant site of the Ungdomshuset.

Clashes broke out later when police tried to eject a small group protesters from the new Youth House nearby. Riot police were pelted with paint bombs cobblestones, fireworks and bottles and several bank branches had their windows smashed.
