Twenty-two people were injured in confrontations that erupted near Cairo's Nasr City police station during the early hours of Tuesday, said the field hospital of the Rabaa al-Adaweya protest.
Supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi, who was ousted by the army following mass demonstrations two weeks ago, have gathered by the Rabaa al-Adaweya Mosque in Nasr City for the past month.
The field hospital added in a statement on Tuesday that it received two cases wounded with live ammunition, one in the head and another in the lower back, reported the Middle East News Agency.
The wounded were returning from a march organized by pro-Mursi supporters at the Cairo International Airport, the statement added.
Other injuries included birdshot wounds and fractures.
