In the German spa town of Baden Baden, where US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were meeting, light scuffles broke out but scenes were largely far calmer than the previous night's scene in Strasbourg. There, police detained at least 300 people overnight and forced demonstrators back into a tent camp on the edge of the city after protesters destroyed telephone booths and attempted to build barricades before they were stopped, said police. A total of 107 were still being held. Suspects can be held up to 48 hours before being formally charged. In the German city of Kehl on Friday, traffic continued to move across the Europe Bridge that links France to Germany ahead of its closing and scores of police patrolled the area. Police in patrol boats zipped up and down the Rhine while helicopters hovered overhead. Many police vans and units from all over Germany were also on the scene. While across the bridge, Strasbourg's streets were virtually deserted as unauthorised traffic was forbidden in many parts of the city. Schools and the universities were closed. "We want to shut down NATO," protest organiser Jung Meller said.
