FRANKFURT, Nov 1 — German police sealed off a major shopping street in central Frankfurt on Saturday night after rioters smashed shop windows, looted stores and attacked officers following a demonstration, German Press Agency (dpa) reported.
The Zeil, one of Germany’s busiest shopping streets, was closed to new arrivals, with police urging bystanders to leave the area.
“Anyone not involved who is still on the Zeil can leave. Access to the Zeil is no longer possible,” police said.
Chaotic scenes unfolded along the high street, where dpa journalists saw people breaking into shops and stealing trainers and other goods.
