VIOLENT scuffles have broken out between police and Lebanese protesters who mobbed Prime Minister John Howard's car as he left a Liberal Party conference in Perth.
Mr Howard was leaving the Western Australian Liberal Party state conference when about 200 protesters, many of whom were waving Lebanese flags and shouting "we want peace", mobbed his vehicle.
Protesters punched, kicked and threw projectiles at Mr Howard's car as police struggled to keep them at bay.
Mr Howard's entourage sped from the scene as police wrestled protesters to the ground.
