A number of police officers have been injured after further demonstrations against a Tesco store in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol turned violent.
Officers had to call for back-up when bottles were thrown during what had been a peaceful protest in Cheltenham Road, Avon and Somerset Police said.
A spokeswoman said the event began at about 2030 BST on Thursday but did not turn violent until about 0100 BST.
"A number of officers have been injured," she confirmed.
It is understood that, so far, no arrests have been made as officers try to "keep the trouble under control", the spokeswoman said.
The majority of people had been carrying out the protest peacefully, she said, but a "small minority have been trying to cause trouble".
