PRO-PALESTINIAN protesters have clashed with cops outside a McDonald’s – after crowds gathered at a train station for a “day of action”.
A line of police officers blocked the protesters from entering the Oxford Road branch of McDonald’s in central Manchester.

In London, crowds assembled outside Downing Street and staged a sit-in at Waterloo Station.
British Transport Police moved to arrest protesters who refused to leave the station despite a banning order.
The force had issued Section 14a orders prohibiting protests at many of London’s main rail stations today.
Pro-Palestinian protest organisers planned a national day of action instead of the large marches in central London which have been held on recent weekends.
Palestinian civilians have been left fleeing for their lives as Israel attempts to destroy Hamas after the terror group massacred 1,200 civilians on October 7.
Families living in Gaza have been caught in the brutal crossfire, with regular accusations that the terrorists are attempting to use them as “human shields”.
Much of the northern part of the strip has been turned into a devastated warzone – with ruined buildings, dwindling supplies and horrific suffering for Gaza’s people.
The Red Cross estimates that some 1.5million civilians have been forced to flee south amid the Israeli onslaught from land, air and sea.
Figures for the death toll remain unverified – but Hamas’ health officials claim more than 11,000 civilians, including more than 4,500 children have been killed.
Israel disputes these figures – and US President Joe Biden said he had “no confidence” in them.
But Benjamin Netanyahu admitted Israel has “not been successful” in reducing civilian casualties.
But he said the deaths must be blamed on Hamas – not Israel.
And as the horror continues there have been growing calls for a humanitarian ceasefire to stop the bloodshed.
