Demonstrators run past a burning barricade Saturday on a street in Tehran, Iran.

At midnight, a stretch of a main avenue near Revolution Square was littered with rocks, street signs and burned tires and trash, witnesses said. Windows were shattered and hundreds of uniformed riot police lined the streets.
