GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany—Thousands of demonstrators packed a German Alpine resort town on Saturday, protesting over a wide range of causes before the arrival of the leaders of the Group of Seven industrialized democracies for a two-day summit.
Though the demonstration in Garmisch-Partenkirchen was largely peaceful, a small group of protesters clashed with police as they marched through the town, throwing bottles at officers who then shot pepper spray at them. At least two protesters had to be taken away by medics for treatment.
Police said they didn’t immediately have any information on arrests.
