Thousands of anti-government protesters marched again in Serbia with baton-wielding riot police chasing them in downtown Belgrade.
The unrest prompted Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to reiterate his pledge of a planned major crackdown against the demonstrators.
The protest was peaceful until a group of young people, believed to be football hooligans, split from the crowd and hurled rocks at the ruling party's downtown offices.
Riot police dispersed the crowd, triggering a panicky escape by many.
Serbia has been gripped by protests since November, when a train station canopy collapse killed 16 people.
Many blamed the tragedy on poor renovation work resulting from widespread corruption in infrastructure projects.
The situation has put pressure on Serbia's president.
Vucic has refused the protesters' demand to call an early parliamentary election.
