Rival protesters fight on streets of Alexandria over controversial draft constitution to be put to vote on Saturday.

Clashes have broken out in northern Egypt between supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and opponents of the country's highly contentious draft constitution.

The two sides hurled rocks and stones at each other on Friday in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, prompting police to fire tear gas to separate them.

Egypt's ministry of health said at least 77 people were hurt, as lines of black-clad officers kept apart of the supporters of the President Mohamed Morsi on one side and the anti-constitution protesters on the other.
