SEIXAL, Portugal (Reuters) -- Unidentified attackers threw petrol bombs at a police station in the Portuguese city of Setubal and torched cars in Lisbon Tuesday, hours after a protest against alleged racially-motivated police violence ended in clashes.
Police said in a statement that three petrol bombs caused damage to the station in the early hours of the morning but nobody was hurt. They reinforced patrols to guarantee residents' safety. The fire blackened the stairs and a wall of the station, but no other damage could be seen from the outside.
