Tens of thousands of protesters led by university students have held a noisy rally outside Serbia's state television headquarters in Belgrade to protest what they called the broadcaster's pro-government bias.

The demonstration is one of the biggest in years against alleged pro-government bias by the RTS television station.

A dramatic incident occurred in Belgrade when a driver drove into a group of protesting students, seriously injuring a young woman. The driver has been detained, and the prosecutor has charged him with attempted murder.

The uprising of tens of thousands of young Serbs outraged at corruption and civil liberties violations is a growing challenge to Aleksandar Vučić's government.
