Seventy-six police officers have been injured in clashes with protesters in Germany's city of Hamburg, where a G20 summit starts shortly.
Three officers were taken to hospital, police said. There were also reports of injuries among protesters.
The clashes began when police charged at masked protesters at a "Welcome to hell" march attended by 12,000 people.
World leaders - including US President Donald Trump - will discuss climate change, trade and other major issues.
Police fired water cannon and pepper spray at masked protesters, who hurled bottles, stones and flares.
