Police and security forces blocked their routes as they aimed at the US, British, and French embassies.
The marchers responded by throwing stones, bottles, and other objects at the officers, who used tear gas in attempts to stop the assault.
As injuries on both sides occurred, the military was called in and their presence backed by tanks and helicopters was enough to make the mob withdraw.
Other protests were carried out throughout the country, though the capital's was by far the largest and most violent.
