A police van ran down protesters engaged in an anti-U.S. rally outside the U.S. embassy in the Philippine capital, Manila, Wednesday, leaving several people injured.

Some 1,000 protesters had gathered in front of the embassy to call for an end to the U.S. military presence in the Philippines. Police fired tear gas and used water cannon to disperse the crowd.

Television news footage showed protesters surrounding a police van and hitting it with wooden batons before the driver started repeatedly ramming protesters with the vehicle.
