Mexican police officers were captured on camera throwing rocks at a bus carrying student protesters from the institute attended by 43 trainee teachers who went missing last autumn.

The incident happened last weekend in Chilpancingo a district of the violence-ridden southern state of Guerrero.

Riot police halted a coach carrying about 50 trainee teachers from the Rural Normal School of Ayotzinapa, as it was travelling on a federal road connecting Chilpancingo to Iguala, a city that became infamous worldwide as the site of the disappearance and murder of 43 students from the same school.

Local media reported the bus initially failed to stop at a checkpoint set up over the alleged theft of a gas pipe. Footage recorded by the local Guerrero News Agency shows the officers in riot gear surrounding the vehicle and attempting to force the students out.
