People being arrested and police using baton STORYLINE: Shots were fired by riot police during anti-globalisation protests in Barcelona on Friday. Police said protesters were arrested for public disorder and resisting authority, but gave no figures. No major injuries were reported. Tens of thousands of demonstrators have swarmed into this port city from around Europe and Spain - especially the violence-scarred Basque region - to coincide with the European Union heads of state summit. Sirens wailed as police vans and a chopper followed crowds of protesters marching through Barcelona's central shopping district as the two-day summit got underway at the heavily guarded Palacio de Congresos on the city's outskirts. A group of hooded demonstrators strode toward a police line as marchers moved down Las Ramblas, a boulevard lined with outdoor cafes and bird and flower sellers.
