Dresden riots: Protesters in Germany attack refugee buses shouting ‘foreigners out’


Dresden riots: Protesters in Germany attack refugee buses shouting ‘foreigners out’
Up to 1,000 protesters have clashed with police in eastern Germany in riots reportedly sparked by the arrival of 250 migrants. 
Police said protesters shouting “foreigners out” and carrying banners against the “asylum flood” threw bottles and stones at busloads of asylum seekers arriving in Heidenau, near Dresden. 
At least 31 officers were hurt in violent scuffles as police used tear gas to disperse crowds. 
Peaceful demonstrations began after news spread that the town was welcoming a large number of refugees who are set to be housed in an empty building.
