Looking at the live feed it looks like lots of injured protesters, but that they have control of the square and the police are gone. Perhaps the police launched a last minute attack and then left. I was away for a few hours and things sure have changed.

from the live stream looks like the protesters have captured some police as well and walking them somewhere.

Looked like a row of 10-20 police. I hope they continue to treat them civilized.
