<p>Nationwide demonstrations against deeply unpopular plans to ramp up student tuition fees have been marred by violence once again.</p>
<p>Thousands of young people incensed by the threat of substantial debts at the end of their time at university took to the streets.</p>
<p>The vast majority took part in peaceful marches, occupations and vigils as MPs debated the potential impact of the changes in Westminster.</p>
<p>But seven arrests were made in London and 10 in Bristol as protests spilled over into violent confrontations.</p>
<p>Hundreds of demonstrators ran from police in Whitehall, in central London, over fears they would be &#8220;kettled&#8221; just yards from the start of a planned march.</p>
<p>Officers played cat and mouse with splinter groups around the West End as they added to traffic chaos sparked by snow and icy conditions.</p>
<p>A hardcore group of around 100 people were eventually surrounded in Trafalgar Square as one male officer was taken to hospital with head injuries.</p>
<p>Graffiti was daubed on public statues and fires lit at the base of Nelson&#8217;s Column as missiles were thrown at riot police.</p>
<p>Police said three protesters were also hurt, including a woman who was hit on the head by a missile, and a man who fell over in the snow.</p>
<p>In Bristol, 10 people were arrested as police were pelted with mustard when thousands of students from both universities in the city marched.</p>
