Others were pictured gathering in large crowds and armed with placards and signs that read 'No to vaccine passports'. Police reported minor injuries during scuffles with demonstrators on Saturday - after beer cans, flares and eggs were thrown at officers. In London, more than 60 per cent of those testing positive were identified as having the Omicron Variant. Riots broke out in Rotterdam when the restrictions were first announced, with police opening fire on anti-lockdown protests against the restrictions.
