STORYLINE:
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) _ Police fired tear gas and "flash-bang" grenades to disperse the crowds in a May Day protest in Oakland, sending protesters fleeing a downtown intersection where they were demonstrating.
Officers took four people into custody.
A group of workers, patrons and property owners clashed with a few dozen protesters who stormed a downtown diner in an attempt to shut it down. The two sides scuffled briefly before police moved in, and the restaurant stayed open.
Elsewhere in the Bay area, service on the Golden Gate Ferry was shut down as ferry workers went on strike. They have been in contract negotiations for a year in a dispute over health care coverage.
A coalition of bridge and bus workers said they would honor the picket line.
