Protests erupt over Taiwan elections

HUNDREDS of Taiwanese protesters scuffled with riot police, threw eggs and broke windows yesterday as they stormed into the Central Election Commission’s headquarters, where officials certified the results of last weekend’s disputed presidential vote.

Police tried to push back the protesters, but refrained from using their clubs.

Some demonstrators went up elevators to the commission offices, but most stayed in the lobby, hurling eggs at the wall and knocking down flowerpots.
