Chaos erupts following gay rights event

While police were able to prevent violence during the parade itself, chaos followed shortly after it ended, when an unidentified perpetrator threw a tear gas grenade into a local restaurant. According to public broadcaster Czech TV and other sources, at least 20 people were affected. Two had to be treated by ambulance services, while a police officer collapsed under strain and had to be taken to hospital. The police pursued an estimated 100 right-wing extremists through the city streets. The situation has since calmed, but police will not be able to rule out additional incidents on Saturday evening, when other gay pride events have been planned.
