The Cairo campaign headquarters of Egyptian presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq has been attacked.
Egyptian TV broadcast footage of a fire at the building, in the Dokki district. The fire was put out with no signs of serious damage, and no injuries, BBC informs.
The attack came hours after it was announced that Mr Shafiq - The last PM of ex-President Hosni Mubarak - would compete in a run-off next month.
Anti-Shafiq protesters then dispersed and a number of Mr Shafiq's supporters then arrived at the scene.
Crowds also headed to the city's central Tahrir Square, scene of the protests which forced the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011 and frequent demonstrations ever since.
These presidential elections are the first in the country after Hosni Mubarak’s fall. Ahmed Shafiq was the last PM of Mubarak’s administration.
