Catalonia Referendum: 38 Injured in Clashes with Police

Pau Barrena / AFP

Catalonia's independence referendum has descended into chaos, with clashes occurring as police attempt to prevent the vote from taking place, BBC reports.

The Spanish government has pledged to stop a poll that was declared illegal by the country's constitutional court.

Police officers are preventing people from voting, and seizing ballot papers and boxes at polling stations.

Catalan emergency services said they had treated 38 people who were injured when police pushed back crowds of voters and forced their way into polling stations.
