More than 400 people were injured during an anti-government rally in Romania's capital, Bucharest, the BBC writes.
More than 50,000 people took part in Friday's protest in Bucharest against what they described as embedded corruption and low wages.
Several police officers were also injured after some protesters threw bottles, and police used tear gas and water can. A new protest is scheduled for Saturday.
President Klaus Iohannis said the police response was “unproportional”.
“I strongly condemn the brutal intervention of riot police, strongly unproportional to the actions of most people”, he said.
Protests were held in several other Romanian cities.
