German police have ended up in a bad relationship.

The German news agency dpa reported Sunday that some 800 neo-Nazis attended the concert late Saturday in the eastern German town of Apolda, while around 500 people came to a counter-protest holding vigilantes and attending late-night church service.

Police officers had to use pepper spray and batons when some neo-Nazi tried to break through police barriers.

The eastern state of Thuringia has long been a center for neo-Nazi concerts. Efforts to ban the concert did not succeed because the concert organizers simply moved to another place after their initial site.
