Fishmonger throws fish to passersby as he is arrested

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, January 7 (Guillermo Fariñas Hernández, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - A fishmonger in Santa Clara faced with imminent arrest, started throwing his fish to passersby and on the roofs of neighboring houses January 6.

The man reportedly screamed at the two arresting agents: "I'm struggling so my children don't starve and have something to wear."

The police nevertheless handcuffed him and took him to the nearest police station.

Several in the crowd protested the man's arrest until a patrol car appeared at the scene and took the man away.
