Protesters Jump off a bridge in Cairo to escape gunfire (Photos)

As many sought to escape the violence that rang out on the streets of Cairo Friday, some risked life and limb to avoid gunfire.

In photos and videos shared on social media, people are seen jumping and falling off a Cairo bridge.

Sarah Carr, a journalist who is on the ground in Cairo, described the scene in a series of tweets.

“People are jumping, falling off the bridge,” she wrote, later clarifying: “This is 6 October bridge by azbakeya police station. There is shooting from the station and they were shot at from behind.”
