<p>Clashes have erupted between pro and anti-government supporters in Cairo&#8217;s central Tahrir Square, where thousands of demonstrators calling for the ejection of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak have been keeping a vigil for days.</p>
<p>One eyewitness reported seeing members of the two sides hitting each other with sticks and some were injured, with their heads bleeding.</p>
<p>Mr Mubarak&#8217;s supporters were out in the streets for the first time in large numbers, with thousands demanding an end to the anti-government movement a day after the president went on national television and rejected demands for him to step down.</p>
<p>Those calling for Mr Mubarak to go have been out in Cairo and many other cities for more than a week, and they drew by far their largest crowd on Tuesday, when at least 250,000 packed Tahrir Square and the area around it.</p>
<p>Mr Mubarak&#8217;s supporters have been seen breaking through a human chain of anti-government protesters trying to defend thousands gathered in Tahrir.</p>
<p>They tore down banners denouncing the president and fist-fights broke out as they advanced across the massive square in the heart of the capital.</p>
<p>The anti-government protesters grabbed Mubarak posters from the hands of the supporters and ripped them.</p>
<p>The confrontations began just hours after a military spokesman went on national television and asked the protesters to disperse so life in Egypt could go back to normal.</p>
<p>During the clashes, soldiers who have been guarding the square did not appear to intervene.</p>
<p>Almost immediately after Mr Mubarak announced late on Tuesday night that he would serve out the remaining seven months of his term &#8211; but would not seek re-election in September &#8211; and would not leave the country, groups of his supporters rarely seen before in the week of anti-government protests took to the streets, some carrying knives and sticks.</p>
