A migrant in his early 20s was arrested in east London after allegedly entering the home of a blind woman. Surveillance footage captured the public detaining him as he was instructed to return to a hotel where anti-immigration protests were occurring. Initially, police did not identify any offenses, but they later arrested him on suspicion of common assault. A separate individual, Channay Augustus, was charged with multiple offenses following an altercation at the same hotel. Protests have surrounded the hotel, raising community tensions amidst recent incidents.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that the migrant, arrested on suspicion of common assault, allegedly entered the flat of a blind woman while being followed by a group of men.
Channay Augustus has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon, affray, and assault on an emergency worker, linked to an altercation at the Britannia Hotel.
Cherelle Augustus stated that her sister, who suffers from serious health complications, was at home and unaware of the incident at the time.
Protests against the hotel where the migrant was staying have intensified, contributing to heightened tensions in the surrounding community.
