More than 20 people were detained after an attack on participants and police at the first LGBT pride parade in Bialystok in eastern Poland.

Four of the people detained are suspected of offences including threatening police officers and assault, a spokesman for the regional police headquarters told Bloomberg on Sunday. Surveillance-camera footage is being used to identify further suspects, he said.
