From a loudspeaker they are advising the demonstrators to break up in large groups "to avoid being arrested by the police". IMC-Norway and Summitinfo.dk reported "the police might have performed detentions at Larsbjornstrede. It is puzzling to see the official dansk police web page reports "presently no ongoing operations" since 14.30. Perhaps the police would have preferred this movilisation against them no to happen... 18.00 - Copenhaguen: The demo has reached Israelplads, end of the course.
