By VZ
(Jerusalem, Israel) - Members of an ultra Orthodox Jewish sect Wednesday night took to the streets in Jerusalem for a second night, setting small fire and engaging police with stones and bottles, to protest next week's gay pride parade. A number of protesters were arrested for causing a disturbance. The demonstration, organized by the Haredi sect, marched through mainly Orthodox neighborhoods. At one point police had to rescue a taxi driver whose cab had been encircled by protestors. Members of the group, as they did on Tuesday, rolled trash cars into the streets and then set them on fire to impede police.
