(WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC FOOTAGE) At least 50 people have been injured as security forces in Bahrain opened fire on protesters for a second straight day. Thousands defied the government and marched towards Pearl Square on Friday.

Amateur videos posted on YouTube show chanting protesters marching towards what appear to be military vehicles before sustained gunfire erupts. The second video shows the same incident, but shot within the group of protesters walking towards the army position.

Throngs of anti-government protesters took over the square earlier in the week, setting up a camp with tents and placards, but they were driven out by riot police in a deadly assault on Thursday that killed five people and injured more than 200.
