Demonstrators fled from riot police in Valparaiso, on Monday, during an anti-government protest in the coastal city.

A group of protesters clashed with police officers near Plaza Anibal Pinto with incidents also recorded in the Cummings Hill area, where at least 15 protesters were arrested.

Some demonstrators were spotted throwing objects at police vehicles. Police meanwhile were seen detaining some and deploying water cannon against others who retreated.

The South American country has been rocked by anti-government protests since late 2019.

Demonstrators are demanding the release of detained protesters, as well as economic reforms and the resignation of President Sebastian Pinera.
