Berlin : At least 436 people were arrested by police after a demonstration in support of a youth center turned violent, Danish media reports said.
Scores of protesters were injured in the street riots after police used teargas to disperse the demonstrators.
Hundreds of mainly youthful protesters marched in the Danish capital, calling for the creation of a new autonomous youth center.
The forced eviction of a popular youth center triggered last month several days of riots in Copenhagen.
Teenage demonstrators led fierce street battles with baton- wielding riot police.
Hundreds of rioters smashed shop windows and set street barricades, cars and municipal garbage cans on fire, forcing police to use tear gas.
An incendiary device exploded in a police vehicle.
At least 40 protesters, mostly radical leftist and anarchist youths, were detained.
Copenhagen was also the scene of violent riots in May after authorities demolished another youth center which had been occupied since the 1980s.
The eviction of that youth house sparked several nights of clashes with police, leading to more than 700 arrests and dozens of injuries.
