A public transport strike has caused traffic chaos in Brazil’s largest city, Sao Paulo, a week before it hosts the opening match of the World Cup.
Half of the underground stations were closed by striking transport workers, who are demanding a 10% pay rise.
Angry commuters stormed the Itaquera station, nearest the stadium where Brazil will play Croatia on 12 June.
Police and other public sector workers say they will go on strike in the next few weeks if their demands are not met.
The authorities said they would sack staff if they failed to meet legal requirements and keep at least 70% of services running.
The state-owned underground company has offered a 8.7% pay rise, which was rejected by the unions which declared the strike for an undetermined period.
