Three police officers were left injured after Marilyn Manson fans clashedwith cops trying to control crowds after the shock rocker's gig in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Sunday (13Sep09).

The Beautiful People singer had just completed a show at the city's Mtscentre and fans had begun to pour out onto the streets when trouble started.

Things became tense as authorities increased their numbers to try and deal with the mass crowds, who had stopped traffic by walking on the highway.

A group of aggravated fans then lashed out at officers in the stand-off, with three cops requiring medical attention. Five fans were arrested.

It's not the first time Manson's current tour has hit the headlines - ashow in California last month (Aug09) brought out members of an angry Christian group, who protested the star's devil-worshipping image outside the show.
