 Police outside the diet building, which is not far from the scene of yesterdays window smashing in the Leipzingerplatz, patrolled the street in hundreds. Others were massed within the courtyard and driveway.

 Police, after an hours fighting, quelled rioting in the vicinity of the Potsdamerplatz early this morning.
