Commuters riot over train delays

Commuters enraged by delays in evening train services set fire to one of South America’s biggest stations, looted nearby shops and attacked riot police.

Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas as rioters pelted them with rocks. The fighting at Buenos Aires’ Constitucion station spilled into a nearby street as demonstrators shattered windows, set fire to a ticket sales area, looted shops and ripped pay phones from walls.
