A total of 36 people were detained in Kiev after a group of unidentified men attacked the police near Ukraine's parliament, authorities said.
The crowd Tuesday broke through a police cordon to reach the parliament building, attacking police officers with sticks and smoke bombs, reported Xinhua citing the press service of the interior ministry.
