CAIRO (AFP) – Egyptian protesters stormed a police building in the city of Mansura on Saturday, amid renewed clashes after a demonstrator’s death overnight, the official MENA news agency reported.

They attacked a building that formerly housed the now-relocated regional police headquarters, but where police still have offices.

A security source told AFP police were able to repel them with tear gas.
