Hundreds of protesters arrested in Berlin

Police in Berlin broke up a protest against coronavirus curbs on Saturday and arrested 300 people after demonstrators failed to social distance and wear masks, as other European cities held similar "anti-COVID" marches, Euronews reports.

Police in the German capital disbanded the mass protest against COVID-19 curbs just several hours after it started.

"Unfortunately, we have no other option," Berlin police said on Twitter. "All the measures taken so far have not led to compliance with the conditions," Euronews informs.
