Milan police clash with protesters on second day of unrest

Milan police clashed on Sunday with protesters throwing stones and looting shops during demonstrations against poor services and the rising cost of living, a day after similar unrest in several Italian cities.



Police in riot gear fired tear gas and used water cannons after several hundred hooded protesters broke shop windows and set bins on fire in the area near central Piazza Duomo, sources with knowledge of the investigation told Reuters.



More than 60 protesters were taken to the police station for further checks.



A total of 28 protesters were arrested after similar clashes erupted on Saturday in northern cities including Milan, Bologna, Brescia, Bergamo and Turin.
