Police: Violent Incident During World Bank/IMF Protest
Georgetown Stores Prepare For Protest

WASHINGTON -- Police said there was at least one violent incident in Georgetown Friday night, where protesters in town for the World Bank and IMF meetings are marching through the streets.

One woman has been hit in the head by a thrown brick. It's unclear how badly she was injured. But no arrests have been reported.

Hundreds of protesters are moving through the area -- accompanied by an even greater number of police officers. They're being escorted by motorcycle patrols -- with officers on bicycles, in cars and even in armored vehicles nearby.

A few dozen protesters gathered at Washington Circle, where they planned to begin a march through Georgetown to send a message to what they call "a seat of excessive wealth and privilege."

Most of the stores --The GAP, American Eagle, Urban Outfitters, Banana Republic, Restoration Hardware and two cosmetics stores -- used large sheets of plywood to board up windows and doors. All are within a block or two of Wisconsin and M streets in Georgetown.

Police were out in large numbers. Vehicle parking along the two primary thoroughfares -- Wisconsin Avenue and M Street -- is prohibited.
