BELEM, Brazil (Reuters) -Protestors brandishing batons forced their way into the venue hosting COP30 on Tuesday, where they clashed with security guards at the entrance.
The protestors clashed with security at the entrance to the venue, which was then barricaded with tables. A Reuters witness saw one security guard being rushed away in a wheelchair while clutching his stomach.
The protestors dispersed from the scene shortly after the clash.
The protesters had been in a group of hundreds who marched to the venue in the Amazon city of Belem on Tuesday, according to a separate Reuters witness.
Another security guard told Reuters he was hit in the head by a drum thrown by a protester. He had a cut on his forehead.
