Also, soldiers have been deployed to some strategic locations across the city including the Presidential Villa gate.
The protest, which began nearly two weeks ago, seeks an end to police brutality in the country.
At least 12 people have been killed across the country since the protests began about two weeks ago.
Authorities had initially promised not to use force against the protesters.
A witness at AYA says a group of armed youths opposed the protesters, unchecked by police.
