Ghanaian youths attack a police station and release suspects.

Police said a gang of angry youngsters assaulted a police station in Ghana's northern town of Nkoranza, killing one person and injuring five others.

During the commotion, protestors also managed to liberate six individuals from police custody, according to authorities.

On Tuesday, protests erupted when a 28-year-old suspect was killed by police during an operation targeting armed robbery suspects in the region.

According to a local station citing a hospital official, those injured during the fights are being treated for gunshot wounds.

According to the official, one of the patients was in a coma and had a bullet lodged in his chest.

The MyJoyonline website quotes John Bremini as saying, "We have roughly nine people who have sustained various injuries; some have been sent to the theatre to be operated on."

The website also posted a video of the police station's damaged vehicles shortly after the attack.

The situation has been brought under control, according to police, and two people have been apprehended in connection with the commotion.
