Activists attempted to break into Tesla's electric car factory outside Berlin on Friday, according to
police.
Regional broadcaster RBB reported that several hundred people ran toward the Tesla facility, with many people wearing masks and dressed in black.
Police arrested several people at the scene. The situation remains "dynamic," a spokesperson told the German news agency dpa.
At least one protester and three officers were also injured in the incident, according to authorities.
Environmentalists have long protested against Tesla's factory in Grünheide because forest was cleared in order to build it. Now, the company plans to expand the facility which would require more woodlands to be cleared.
