KEY POINTS:
COPENHAGEN - Police arrested at least 436 people in the capital after demonstrators evicted from a youth centre six months ago tried to occupy a different building, officials said.
"We have never arrested so many people in a single incident before," a police spokesman said.
About 3000 demonstrators tried to climb over police vehicles to reach the building. Police responded with teargas and then moved in for the arrests.
The conflict over the youth centre has been simmering since 2000, when the local government sold the building to a religious group.
