The police in Bangladesh have used batons and tear gas to disperse thousands of garment factory workers demanding better pay.
Nearly 20 people were injured in the clashes outside the capital Dhaka, a senior police official said.
The protests came a day after violent demonstrations shut down factories in southern Bangladesh.
The protesters say their wages have not gone up, even though hikes were due last month.
Thousands of workers gathered outside their factory in an industrial area of Dhaka early in the morning in protest against its closure as a result of the disturbances on Saturday.
Soon, the protest turned violent.
Workers blocked one of the city's main highways and a number of vehicles were smashed.
At least two cars were set on fire. Police used batons and tear gas to disperse the workers.
On Saturday, protests by workers in the southern city of Chittagong forced a South Korean company to shut down its eleven factories there.
Labour unions say many of the factories are not implementing the new salary scale announced by a government wage board earlier this year.
From November, the factories should have been paying a wage of at least $43 (£27) a month.
Around Dhaka, workers in some factories have been protesting for a number of days, demanding increased pay.
More than three million people, mostly women, work in Bangladesh's garment industry, which supplies many major western stores and is a key sector of the country's economy.
