Protesters in Iceland's capital Reykjavik have clashed with police during a demonstration over the handling of the financial crisis.
Several hundred protesters gathered outside the city's main police station to demand the release of a man jailed in a previous demonstration. Five people were injured when police used pepper spray to disperse the group after some tried to storm the building.
Iceland faces a sharply contracting economy over the financial collapse.
The group outside the police station broke away from a much larger group of several thousand people who had gathered outside parliament to demand the government's resignation. Some in the group tried to storm the police building.

Tuncay Gueny is suspect of attempts to topple Turkish government.
Tuncay Gueny is suspect of attempts to topple Turkish government.
A secret investigation into detained Ergenekon group members and other studies outside Turkey indicate that Mossad orchestrated the coup plot against the Turkish government, the report says.
The Ergenekon group is a Turkish neo-nationalist organization with alleged links to the military, members of which have been arrested on charges of plotting to foment unrest in the country.
Investigators uncovered evidence that show a Jewish rabbi named Tuncay Guney, who worked for Mossad and fled to Canada in 2004, was a key figure behind attempts to overthrow the Turkish government.
A document uncovered this week by the Sabah daily shows how Guney purposefully infiltrated Ergenekon and another organization known as JITEM, an illegal intelligence unit in the gendarmerie suspected of hundreds of murders and kidnappings .

Anger over Damian Green's arrest escalates over suspicion of security scandal inside Parliament
The House of Commons office of Damian Green, the Tories' immigration spokesman, is routinely swept for electronic bugging devices, along with other offices belonging to senior Conservatives, amid fears of covert monitoring, The Independent on Sunday has discovered.
Anger surrounding the shadow immigration minister's arrest last week escalated dramatically last night over suspicions of a major bugging scandal inside the Palace of Westminster.
The IoS understands that even before his surprise arrest on Thursday Mr Green was aware that his Commons office, phone calls and emails could be under surveillance because of the sensitive nature of his job.
The fresh revelations rocked the Commons just days before the high point of the parliamentary calendar, the Queen's Speech, which takes place on Wednesday.

China's Internet search leader Baidu said on Friday it will overhaul operations due to the fact that state media said it allowed unlicensed medical services to buy high search rankings to win more customers. According to The Guardian, this has resulted in Baidu's ad revenue dropping ten to fifteen percent, plus the release of several ad representatives who have allegedly helped these false medical practices gain top ranking in Baidu.
Robin Li, Baidu's chief executive, told the state news agency Xinhua today that the firm had sacked staff and more could follow. For instance: "We have removed the key words of all four clients mentioned in the report and have begun to double-check the licenses of all other hospitals and pharmacies on our client list."
