About 9.25 comes the police driving in 3-4 transits in order through that clearing Nørrebrogade. One of the transits directly runs into a demonstrator who falls backwards down on the driver-track and stays in bed with the legs in under the car. He is after that arrested and come along.

From Ungdomshuset it is said that: "As long as there isn't a Ungdomshus, there is a fight for a Ungdomshus"
Two ambulances have left Ungdomshuset.
(New information: From Ungdomshuset it is said that the police wasn't that fast this morning as it has earlier been explained to the media. According to sources, that were by the house this morning, it took several attempts before the police succeeded in entering the building. A crane had to lift a container up to the house several times before the police could enter the house. It started a 7.00 this morning but at 8.00 there was still coming loud sounds out from the house which can mean that the police didn't have full controle over the building yet.)

Dozens of people have been arrested in Denmark after violence erupted amid a police operation to evict squatters.

Protesters threw cobblestones at police and set makeshift barricades on fire outside the Copenhagen building, which has become a cause celebre in Denmark.
Police in riot gear blocked the streets while an anti-terror squad dropped from helicopters onto the building's roof.
Squatters have occupied the building since 1982, but it was sold by the local council in 2000.
The buyers, a Christian group, have a court order to have the squatters evicted - but they have vowed not to leave.
The building has been used as a base for left-wing activists for more than two decades. They say the council had no right to sell the building while it was still in use.
A protest against the eviction plans in December turned violent, and more than 300 people were arrested.
Reinforcements
Shop owners in the Noerrebro district began boarding up windows after the operation began at about 0700 (0600 GMT).

Anti-terror police gained access to the building from the air


Youths gathered behind protest lines, yelling at police and throwing missiles.
"We have arrested 30 people who were in the building and some 40 others in surrounding streets," police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch told the AFP news agency.
He said the operation had gone to plan but that police had called in reinforcements, fearing that clashes could spread. "We are in control of the situation and we are prepared for fresh trouble," he said.
