Most of the violence occurred in Cairo, but several other cities saw violence as well.
Thousands of Egyptians had gathered in Tahrir Square to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the Arab Israeli War.
Members of the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters took to the streets as well and began attack groups of celebrants.
Police and military forces were able to keep large groups from reaching each other, but fighting broke out in side streets.
At least two hundred members of the Muslim Brotherhood were arrested as the government responded to the violence.
