Clashes broke out between supporters and opponents of President Mohamed Mursi in Alexandria on Tuesday evening; no injuries were reported.

An Aswat Masriya eyewitness reported that some of the residents of the Agami district objected to slogans chanted by a pro-Mursi rally that was passing by them.

"The people want to apply the law of God!" chanted the supporters of the Islamist president, who were estimated at hundreds.

The supporters shot gunfire in order to disperse the opponents who were trying to obstruct the rally. The security forces fired teargas bombs to disperse both sides.

Clashes also occurred in Alexandria's Sidi-Bishr district between its residents and supporters of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood who staged protests in support of Mursi's legitimacy.
