布鲁塞尔，10月24日电 - 路透社记者和比利时媒体报道，周六比利时警方在布鲁塞尔与反政府示威者发生冲突，使用了催泪瓦斯和胡椒喷雾，示威者呼吁改善教育系统条件。
BRUSSELS, Oct 24 - Belgian police used tear gas and pepper spray as they clashed in Brussels on Saturday with anti-government demonstrators calling for better conditions in the education system, Reuters witnesses and Belgian media reported.
冲突发生在数百名主要为年轻人的抗议者聚集之后，这是近几个月来持续举行集会的延续，他们呼吁增加教育经费，并指控警方使用过度暴力。
The clashes came after hundreds of mainly young protesters gathered in a continuation of rallies that have taken place in recent months, calling for more funding for education and accusing police of excessive violence.
冲突规模远小于上周在比利时发生的冲突，暴力程度也较低——而在邻国法国，冲突规模则大得多。
The clashes were much smaller and less violent than those that took place last week in Belgium and — on a far larger scale — in neighbouring France.
路透社记者目睹，周六在布鲁塞尔的一次事件中，抗议者在警方追赶下奔跑并跌倒在地，警官殴打并踢踹一名示威者。
In one incident in Brussels on Saturday, protesters ran and fell to the ground as police pursued them, with officers hitting and kicking one demonstrator, Reuters witnesses saw.
抗议者将路标和其他物品扔到一堆共享电动滑板车和自行车上，并试图将其点燃。
Protesters threw road signs and other items onto a pile of rental scooters and bicycles and attempted to set it on fire.
多家比利时媒体报道，在另一起事件中，警方使用催泪瓦斯驱散一群抗议者。
In another incident, police used tear gas to disperse a group of protesters, multiple Belgian media outlets reported.
