On Wednesday, dozens of people took over the streets of Venezuelan capital in Caracas calling for the government of President Nicholas Maduro to hold elections and improve the country’s collapsing economy.
Unfortunately, the mega protests turned bloody when angry gangs threw Molotov cocktail, bottles and rocks at riot police, who responded by firing white tear gas. In the process, one person was killed and over 300 people got injured as a flaming police riot van ran over many.
Terrifying images show a man completely helpless when he caught up in an explosion after a bike burst into flames. While another photo shows a young girl being rescued after she was run over by the police rioting van.
Although, the protests against the embattled president began in early April with many already killed following the ongoing demonstration in the country.
