Australia Muslim protest turns violent, police dog bites man

Riot police have clashed with about 200 protesters who rallied in downtown Sydney as part of global demonstrations against an anti-Muslim film produced in the United States.

Local media reported a policeman had been knocked unconscious and said several people were injured among the mostly male crowd on Saturday that targeted the US Consulate.

Police used pepper spray against protesters, some of whom carried signs reading: “Obama, Obama, we love Osama.”
