The demonstration was a protest against the European Police Congress, which will meet in Berlin next week, according to the German website focus.de. The group is an anti-fascist movement who oppose the rise of neo-Nazi sentiment in Germany.

A video of the clashes was uploaded on Russian state broadcaster RT’s YouTube page.

Police can be seen brawling with and kettling protestors before escorting some of them away.

German protesters said they were fed up with new animal welfare and restrictions on the use of pesticides to protect insects, among other things.

Placards accompanying the tractors read: “Don’t forget that farmers feed you,” “No farm, no food, no future” and “We are fed up!”
