Protesters arrested at right-wing party's Vienna ball

VIENNA (Reuters) - Several protesters were arrested during violent demonstrations against an annual ball in Vienna's imperial Hofburg palace that traditionally draws right-wing figures, Austrian police said on Friday.

Police estimated that 6,000 demonstrators took to the streets of the Austrian capital to protest against the so-called Academics' Ball, part of the annual Viennese ball season, which was hosted by the far-right Freedom Party.
