Violent clashes broke out after hundreds of protesters barricaded Bulgaria's politicians inside the parliament building as demonstrations in the country intensified.
Protesters build barricades outside the parliament building Nearly 10 people had to be taken to hospital to be treated for injuries, including two police officers, after 2,000 people took to the streets of the capital of Sofia.
Police armed with shields and batons had to rescue 100 lawmakers who had been trapped inside the besieged building for more than eight hours.
Officers attempt to escort the politicians to safety Officers tried to escort the politicians out by bus but anti-corruption protesters, shouting "mafia" and "resign", hurled plastic bottles at the bus.
Thousands of Bulgarians have taken to the streets of the capital every day for 40 days since the government announced the appointment of a powerful media magnate as security chief.
Protesters outside the building in the capital of Sofia The protesters see the move as an increasing example of private interests controlling state institutions.
The government's withdrawal of the appointment last month failed to quell public discontent in the EU's poorest country and protesters are now calling for the cabinet's resignation.

"We will try to find those who threw stones at police and deputies."
Violent clashes break out between protesters and police Authorities say seven protesters had to be treated for head injuries and two police officers were also hurt.
The president, Rosen Plevneliev, has appealed to protesters and police to keep the demonstrations peaceful.
More peaceful demonstrators play the piano In a statement he said: "I appeal to the protesters to keep the protest the way it was and the way it impressed all Europe - peaceful, civilised and aimed at achieving the values of a democratic society."
