Residents of a poor neighbourhood in the Chilean capital, Santiago, protested on Friday, demanding food aid to cope with the lockdown in place in the city since late March.
One police officer was shot in an arm during the protest in Cerrillos, in which security forces also used tear gas and water cannon trucks to disperse the demonstrators.
"This is not the way, we have that clear," one protester who did not give his name told The Associated Press news agency. "But it is the only way to get things done in this country, this is how we fight here, like this, this is how you can see the hunger of some people."
