Sacked workers at South Korea's Ssangyong motor company plant have continued to clash with riot police.

The violence escalated as authorities tried to remove the protesters. Police gained access to the roof using a container box lifted by a crane. The workers fought back with metal pipes as the police tried to land, using water cannon to disperse the crowds.
