As many as 10,000 protesters had gathered in Beirut's Martyrs' Square on Saturday, some throwing stones at police, according to reports and social media posts.
Police fired tear gas when some protesters tried to break through the barrier blocking a street leading to parliament, a Reuters journalist said.
Police confirmed shots and rubber bullets had been fired. It was not immediately clear who fired the shots. Riot police shot dozens of teargas canisters at protesters, who hit back with firecrackers and stones.
