Forty-five Jews were wounded here, three of them seriously, in the course of a two hour clash between a mixed crowd and police detachments. Barricades were set up in the streets- and the enraged demonstrators fought a bloody battle with the police.
After the crowd left a cinema house in which a protest had been held they formed a demonstration. The marchers encountered police lines on Bialik street. A merciless attack by the police infuriated the marchers, who replied with a volley of stones. Twenty-five Laboriates and ten Revisionists are among the injured. The others were onlookers.
