Clashes erupted between vendors in Tahrir Square, with some wielding knives injuring many and sending some to the hospital. Some vendors hid inside Omar Makram Mosque while others insisted on breaking into the mosque to expel them. In related news, some popular committees in Tahrir Square erected a barrier in front of Mohamed Mahmoud Street, and placed three people at the barrier to prevent rioters from entering the street. A black cloud covered the sky of Tahrir Square after tents were set on fire inside the square.
