Politicians were seen on live television clashing with security and launching tear gas in an apparent show of support for student protestors.

Demonstrations sparked by a railway station roof collapse that killed 15 people four months ago have morphed into a wider movement that poses the biggest threat yet to the Serbian government.

One of the injured MPs suffered a stroke and is in a critical condition, according to the speaker. "Serbia is rising up for the regime to fall," read a banner unfurled on the chamber floor.
