Clashes intensified between security forces and dozens of demonstrators on Friday early evening by the Nile Corniche Road and on 6 October Bridge. Security forces heavily fired teargas and birdshot at the demonstrators, which led to dozens of injuries, in addition to cases of suffocation.
Protesters responded by throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at security forces.
A state of hit-and-run prevailed as security forces chased demonstrators using armored vehicles.
Three ambulances headed to Qasr al-Nil Bridge as the number of wounded grew, and the field hospital in Tahrir Square called on demonstrators to provide medical supplies.
