It was a horrifying moment when a police van was recently
pushed off a bridge in Cairo by angry protesters. As if that was
not enough, demonstrators attacked the burning wreckage,
throwing stones at it.
The dramatic pictures show the van being ambushed by
dozens of people before crashing through a protective fence on
the bridge. It then falls upside down and then rolls onto its
roof as it lands. Blood can then be seen on the ground as
nearby police officers pull injured men out of the crushed
vehicle.
It is not known how many people were on board and how
many people survived the fall, but bloodied men were seen
lying around the van moments afterwards. Unconfirmed
reports on Twitter claimed five were dead.
At least 278 are said to be dead and hundreds more injured
after a day of bloody violence sparked when security forces
stormed a camp to clear protesters supporting deposed
President Mohamed Morsi.
Meanwhile, Egypt's interim President, Adly Mansour, declared
a month-long state of emergency and night-time curfew in
Cairo and ten provinces. His vice president, Mohamed
ElBaradei, resigned in protest at the bloody crackdown.
According to reports, the United States has called for urgent
restraint, warning that the 'the world is watching.' The state of
lawlessness in the country is really horrifying!!!
