The protesters were trying to block Jewish visits to the al-Aqsa mosque compound, a site which is holy for both religions.
Police had been there to protect the visitors, but were themselves attacked by the protesters.
Injuries occurred on both sides, as protesters threw bricks, rocks, and other objects at the police and visitors, while the police responded with stun grenades and tear gas.
Officials said that twelve arrests were made.
