London protests: More than 100 arrests after violent clashes with police
14 June 2020
More than 100 people have been arrested following violent protests in London on Saturday, the Met Police has said.
Police were attacked by demonstrators, some of whom were far-right activists, after thousands gathered saying they were protecting statues.
PM Boris Johnson said: "Racist thuggery has no place on our streets."
A 28-year-old has been arrested after a man was seen urinating next to a memorial of PC Keith Palmer, who was killed in the 2017 Westminster attack.
Separately on Saturday, a number of peaceful anti-racism protests were held in London and around the country.
