Cop hurt as jobs protest outside Lower House turns ugly (2)

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 21 - A jobs demonstration outside the Lower House turned ugly on Friday with clashes breaking out between protestors and police and a Carabiniere being slightly hurt after a demonstrator tore off his helmet and kicked him in the head.
    The protestors, featuring members of the Cobas union and of the Movimento 7 Novembre group for the unemployed, got angry when they found out that they would not get to have a meeting with Labour Minister Andrea Orlando.
    The group moved from Piazza Montecitorio to Piazza Colonna, in front of the premier's office, and there were scuffles.
    Eight of the people involved including the man who attacked the Carabiniere have been identified by the authorities, sources said.
    Cobas said seven demonstrators were hurt, none seriously.
