The hours of unending clash between the police and the protestors saw an exchange of stones and teargas between the protestors and the police respectively.
Caught in the middle of the standoff were dozens of journalists who had to run for cover behind a police defence wall.
Their coverage of the event angered some of the protestors who directed the missiles in their direction.
In their bid to run for their lives, some of the journalists fell in the middle of the road which had luckily been sealed off to traffic by the police.
Amidst incessant efforts by the protesters to burn car tyres in the middle of the road, the Maame Dokono section of the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange was filled with hundreds of hurled stones and spent teargas cartridges.
