(11 Nov 2013) Young people set cars on fire, broke windows and threw stones at police during a march in Warsaw by thousands of nationalists marking Poland's Independence Day.
Police responded with tear gas and stun grenades, while detaining around a dozen people.
Two police officers and a number of protestors were were injured during the clashes, according to a police spokesman.
Police said the violence broke out after a group of masked protesters made their way towards a squat inhabited by leftist squatters, according to local media.
The Independence Day march by nationalists has turned violent before, and Warsaw authorities, who initially allowed Monday's march, declared it illegal after the violence.
But elsewhere in the capital and other parts of the country, many Poles held peaceful events in memory of the country's regaining sovereignty in 1918 as a result of World War I.
