This is the moment police carried out a series of baton charges and used tear gas against demonstrators in central Sevilla.

It came after more than 1,000 antifascist protesters attempted to reach a rally organised by the far-right group Nucleo Nacional.

Two police officers were injured during the disturbances on Saturday evening, although no arrests were made.

The first incidents occurred shortly after 7pm around Plaza Nueva, where antifascist groups had gathered ahead of a Nucleo Nacional demonstration scheduled for an hour later.

Policia Nacional officers ordered the crowd to disperse before carrying out the first charges when protesters allegedly refused to leave the area.

A separate police operation prevented members of Nucleo Nacional from reaching Plaza Nueva, with officers attempting to keep the opposing groups apart and avoid a direct confrontation.

Around 100 Nucleo Nacional supporters later moved their gathering to Plaza de España.

Police vans escorted the group across the city as part of the security operation.

A number of antifascist protesters then broke through police lines and also attempted to reach Plaza de España.

Officers again ordered the crowd to disperse before launching further charges. Tear gas was used during the intervention.

The two groups were prevented from coming into direct contact and both demonstrations had ended by approximately 9.30pm.

Later reports said two police officers had been injured but that nobody had been arrested.

A photographer working for the left-wing publication El Salto has alleged that he was struck by officers despite identifying himself as accredited press.

The outlet said he was treated at Virgen del Rocio Hospital for pain and swelling to his elbow, as well as a headache and dizziness, and that the incident had been reported to a court.

The police operation formed part of a tense evening of competing demonstrations in Sevilla, with officers maintaining cordons across the city centre to stop the opposing groups from meeting.
