Hundreds of protesters clash with police in the Armenian capital as the hostage crisis at a police station in Yerevan enters its fourth day, Sputnik reported.

At least four protesters rallying near the seized police building in Armenian capital, Yerevan, were injured during clashes with police on Wednesday and required emergency medical assistance.

According to the report, the protesters were throwing rocks and pieces of heavy debris at police, while law enforcement officers responded with warning shots and flash-bang grenades.

At this point, police pushed the crowd to a distance of about 80 meters (some 260 feet) from the building, the correspondent said in a phone call.
