CALGARY, Alberta, March 22 (UPI) -- An Aryan Guard rally in the Canadian city of Calgary ended with fistfights as angry protesters threw projectiles at the white pride marchers, police say.

The Calgary Herald said three people were arrested during Saturday's altercation and at least two people required medical attention for head injuries. The injuries suffered by the unidentified individuals were not serious, while charges against those arrested have yet to be filed.


The conflict began Saturday when nearly 60 Aryan Guard supporters were confronted by more than 400 anti-racism protesters.

Some of the protesters began throwing rocks and other projectiles at the white supremacist group supporters, causing the reported injuries.

A number of fistfights then erupted between the two sides as a strong police presence attempted to end the violence, the Herald said.

The Aryan Guard rally originally had been scheduled to travel through part of Calgary and end at City Hall.
