Situation at the Nuselsky bridge:

kris | 26.09.2000 14:20

At least 10,000-15,000 protestors have converged onto the city of Prague!!! Police have barricaded the main bridge leading over to the congress center...

multiple lines of protesters wearing gas masks and white protective suits filled with rubber tyre and foam - they are negotiating with police to break the line as there is no way possible of getting across the bridge by
physical means (i.e force), though some are doing just that and slowing our progress (many people have resorted to grabbing sticks of protesters and breaking them in two or throwing them into the trees) - just saw first news
report on Czech t.v showing protesters at a different location trying to break into the center (this group however is very small and will be overall ineffective as police are pushing them back)
