.
Demonstrators and police exchanged fire as protesters set alight three churches in al-Geish street in Suez, leading to several people being injured.
Several hundred cars and shops were also burned down, creating a scene of mayhem in the streets.
Protesters set fire to the train station and a number of trains as well as the shops owned by Christians whilst chanting that the Christians ?and the Tamarod movement are the reason for what is happening now in Egypt.?
According to reports, civilians began helping the armed forces defend buildings and home from the protesters.
The health directorate said two people were killed and 25 others were injured in the clashes.
As the crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood continued in Cairo, supporters of the movement took to the streets elsewhere in the country. Pro-Morsi demonstrations were reported in the cities of Alexandria, Aswan, Beni Suef, Kafr El-Zayat, Minya and Asyut.
