Brazil protesters in Rio clashes over dancer's death
Violent protests have broken out in Rio de Janeiro following the death of a young person allegedly beaten by police.
It is believed the dead man was a dancer, who was reportedly mistaken for a drug trafficker.
Main streets through the tourist area of Copacabana were closed as angry demonstrators from a nearby favela set barricades of tyres alight.
