At least two people were killed and dozens injured on Saturday after Muslims and Christians clashed in an area west of Egyptian capital Cairo, state media reported.
The incident happened in the Embaba district in Giza when angry Muslims headed to a church where a Coptic girl was held inside, official MENA news agency said.
The girl's marriage to a Muslim man sparked the confrontation, it added.
The state TV said at least two people were killed in the fighting.
Minority Coptics account for about 10 percent of Egypt's total population. Coptics and Muslims in Egypt generally live in peace but sporadic violence between them occur due to the construction of churches or romantic affairs between worshippers of the two groups.
Security and armed forces were deployed to contain the situation, MENA said.
