STORYLINE:
Workers and activists marked May Day in Santiago on Wednesday with a largely peaceful demonstration, while some clashes between police and protesters broke out in other areas of the capital.

Several organisations and unions were represented in the march,
including the Unitary Central of Workers (CUT), the main multi-union organization in Chile.

While most of the demonstration was peaceful, clashes took place between authorities and protesters in other areas of downtown Santiago.

The clashes forced the closure of various metro stations and resulted in the arrest of several people, although no injuries were reported.
