The clashes came after a large crowd of Morsi supporters surged across the 6th October Bridge, over the Nile river, towards Tahrir Square where many of the former president supporters are gathered. Ugly clashes
Earlier, the Muslim Brotherhood's supreme leader, Mohammed Badie, had told tens of thousands of Morsi supporters outside the Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque that protests would continue until the deposed president was reinstated. Tensions in Cairo escalated after Egyptian troops opened fire on crowds that had gathered outside the Republican Guard headquarters, where Mr Morsi is believed to be held.
Three people were killed and dozens more wounded, including the BBC's Jeremy Bowen whose head was grazed by shotgun pellets.
Tens of thousands of supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood - to whom Mr Morsi belongs - had massed outside Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque throughout the day.
By evening, the crowd had filled nearby streets and the Brotherhood's supreme leader, Mohammed Badie, told the crowd: "We shall stay in the squares until we bring President Morsi back to power."
He said their protests would remain peaceful and called on the army not to "direct your arms against us".
Shortly afterwards, a large crowd of Muslim Brotherhood supporters surged across the 6th October Bridge, over the Nile river, towards Tahrir Square where anti-Morsi protesters were gathered.
The BBC's Gavin Lee, overlooking the bridge, has described running clashes that are getting uglier.
A car has been set on fire and stones and fireworks are being thrown. Supporters on both sides are arming themselves with batons, bits of woods and bottles.
Mr Morsi hails from the Muslim Brotherhood, and both have been accused of pursuing an Islamist agenda against the wishes of the majority and of failing to tackle economic problems.Mr Morsi hails from the Muslim Brotherhood, and both have been accused of pursuing an Islamist agenda against the wishes of the majority and of failing to tackle economic problems.
