Crowds flood onto the streets of the Venezuelan capital as they protest against the reforms of President Maduro.



One person has been killed and another 300 injured as a flaming police riot van ran over demonstrators amid violent protests in Venezuela.

Disturbing images and video shows dozens of rioters pelting two police vehicles with Molotov cocktails, bottles and rocks in the capital Caracas on Wednesday before rushing forward as the armoured trucks reverse up the street.

The mob then rushes forward and looks about to overwhelm one vehicle when it suddenly pulls forward, dragging several people underneath its wheels.

Rioters were filmed pelting the vehicle with projectiles before being run over.

It is not clear if any police were injured.

Hmm

After running over several activists, the truck ploughed over a police bike causing the fuel tank to burst into flames.

The bike was consumed by burning fuel which also splashed on to several nearby rioters, wreathing them in flames.

Over 134 people received trauma injuries.

Crowds flood onto the streets of the Venezuelan capital as they protest against the reforms of President Maduro.

National Guardsmen holding riot shields look on as crowds of protesters take to the streets of Caracas.

Demonstrators holding shields and waving the Venezuelan flag clash with National Guardsmen driving anti-riot vehicles in Caracas.

This is an height of insensitivity on d part of d govt. Such anti-people policies are here also. We can only pray it doesnt degenerate into this.

More.

They want the President out.

In Nigeria, live bullet. would've been flying from those that were supposed to be curtailing the number of damages that could result from the protest!

this one tough ooooo

If na naijeriya, by now more than 5000 dead bodies would be found littered everywhere

Nigeria would have been in similar situation if not for repatriation from Nigerians living in diaspora. Imagine a staggering 22 billion dollars ( that is the ones accounted for) plus in 2015 and more than that in 2016. Imagine how bad it would have been for most family and business during this recession if they never had family and friends abroad extending financial help.

Venezuela stay strong and don't stop until this government leaves.

I pray one day we will wake up from our slumber in Nigeria and do same!

This is real protesting, na only online we dey throw our own tear gas and molotov cocktails.

This pictures go chop all my data finish laa, i no dey come back to this thread I swear down.

This is what I call Real protesting. And not the yeye March them do for Lagos last two months.

It would not "degenerate" to this because Northerners will never demonstrate against their vegetable president and Afonjas are too cowardly to come out and protest like this.

Dafuq

One harmful effect of a country's overdependence on oil. Just like Nigeria.

Chai, see as these guys covered their nose. They are really prepared for this riot.

It's either the government is mad or the Citizens are crazy

Buhari sef

Venezuela! Thought things were going to get better after Chavez' passing, but here they are; so painfully close to the nadir.

I just hope all those beautiful Venezuelan girls are safe.
