(AFP)- - Demonstrators angered over a satirical video of the Prophet Muhammad, which was broadcast on Danish TV, have hurled firebombs and rocks at the Danish embassy in Tehran.

Anti-riot police kept protesters from entering the embassy on Tuesday evening, but this did not prevent demonstrators from throwing Molotov cocktails over the wall and into the garden.

There were no clashes or arrests, and the extent of any damage was not immediately known. The demonstrators were demanding the closure of the mission.

Excerpts of the video, which was originally published on the internet, was broadcast on Denmark's TV2 channel and showed members of the extreme-right Danish People's Party portraying the Prophet Muhammad as a beer-drinking camel and a drunken "terrorist" attacking Copenhagen.

The video was filmed by a member of the party's youth wing, Martin Rosengaard Knudsen, also a member of the artists' group called Defending Denmark.

The group removed the video clip from its website on Monday, saying it was glad it had sparked debate.

Danish embassies and commercial interests in Muslim countries were hit by a wave of violent protests in January and February this year after satirical cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad were published in a Danish daily, Jyllands Posten, in September 2005.
