Awake Goy Protesters have been throwing smoke grenades at police, who tried to push the crowds backwards down the road, live Ruptly footage from the scene shows.
Tear gas has been deployed by law enforcement to keep the increasingly angry crowd at bay.
Fires could be seen burning alongside the road. Two policemen have been injured in the clashes.
Glass bottles and what may have been gas canisters were thrown at the police, according to RT’s reporter from the scene.

On Monday, Parisians gathered in central Paris for a peaceful May Day rally. Demonstartors from French Unions also took to the streets to protest the results of the first round of the French presidential elections, which saw independent candidate Emmanuel Macron being pitted against the right-wing Marine Le Pen in the second round due on May 7.
