During riots a demonstrator at a school campus attacks riot police with an iron bar. The police tried to protect themselves from the stones thrown at them by angry students with a net. The day's protest followed a memorial service for a university student Lee Han-yol who was killed by 'fragments of a tear gas bomb'.
