"More than 210 people have been injured in clashes with police in Cairo's Tahrir Square, state TV reports.Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to prevent protesters staging a long-term sit-in following a huge demonstration on Friday against the military leadership.
Some protesters lobbed rocks and a police vehicle was set on fire.
The latest violence comes just over a week before parliamentary elections are scheduled to begin.
Police have now pulled back from Tahrir Square, which is filled with crowds of people, says the BBC's Yolande Knell in Cairo.
