Tear gas, rocks fly in Chile as protesters face off with police
Protesters clashed with security forces in Santiago as protests that have become more sporadic flared up on Friday.
A water cannon vehicle doused protesters who threw items at police in riot gear near Santiago's iconic Plaza Italia.
Since October, Chile has been rocked by protests that started over a hike in public transport fares and broadened to include calls for better pensions, healthcare and education.
On December 23, Chilean President Sebastian Pinera signed off on a referendum to be held on a new constitution, which he vowed would generate a "solid, compassionate and legitimate framework" that would help reunify the country after months of intense protests over inequality and elitism.
