HEILIGENDAMM (Germany), June 6 (RIA Novosti) - German police used tear gas and water cannons Wednesday to disperse G8 protesters who turned violent at the G8 summit, German media reported.

Young people clad in black threw stones at riot police, who have found it difficult to separate them from peaceful protesters. As a result, both checkpoints into the summit security zone have been blocked off, and indiscriminate riot control methods have been employed.

The main road from the Rostock Airport and other roads toward Heiligendamm have been blocked since earlier today by rows of people engaged in a sit-down protest, as well as barricades.
