(Reuters) - Five Seattle police officers were injured and at least nine people arrested on Sunday night, after unruly demonstrators hurled projectiles and Molotov cocktails and broke windows, authorities said.

Protesters gather every year on May 1 to focus attention on labour and immigration issues, but demonstrators in cities across the United States also used the occasion to rally against police violence.
