Bloggers said some protesters began burning waste and pelting stones at the police who responded with a water cannon. The rally itself was drawing to an end at that moment.
Police said that 81,000 people took to the streets in the center of the Belgian capital on Wednesday. The organizers of the protest put the number even higher, speaking of an attendance of around 100,000, AFP reported.
The protest, one of the biggest in Belgium in recent years, started peacefully, but then reports in the local media emerged of isolated clashes between dockers from the northern port city of Antwerp and security forces.
