MANILA - Two policemen were injured after protesters tried to force their way into Times Street in Quezon City to stage a rally in front of the house of former President Benigno Aquino III.

The thumb of Chief Insp. Melchor Rosales, deputy commander of Quezon City Police District (QCPD) Police Station 2, bled after getting caught in the barricade, which protesters tried to pull.

Station commander Supt. Dario Anasco's lips, meanwhile, bled after being hit by something he did not see.

But Anasco said it is part of the job. Despite his injury, he ordered the police to exercise maximum tolerance throughout the protest.

Protesters trooped to Times Street to call for the prosecution and jailing of Aquino.

Kabataan Party-list national president Marjohara Tucay said Aquino should be held liable for malversation of funds through the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) and for the death of Special Action Force (SAF) troopers during the Mamasapano encounter.
