At least nine people have been arrested on charges of assault, grievous bodily harm and racial abuse after far-right demonstrators clashed with anti-racism protesters, police and emergency workers in London.
In an updated report late on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said two men had been arrested on charges of grievous bodily harm (GBH) after a participant of the Stand Up To Racism protest was assaulted by two suspects and suffered a head injury.
Another was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and a racially aggravated public order offence after he allegedly snapped a Palestinian flag and made a racially abusive remark.
A further four people have been arrested outside a pub in Whitehall on suspicion of assault on emergency workers. Four officers were assaulted. Fortunately none sustained serious injuries.
