At least 22 police officers were injured after a street party in London that violated coronavirus lockdown restrictions descended into violence.
Volunteers clean up the streets following overnight violent confrontations with police, in the Brixton area of London, Thursday June 25, 2020. Authorities have reported some fifteen officers were injured and four people were arrested following the incident.
In a statement Thursday, the Metropolitan Police said they were called overnight to “a large unlicensed music event in the street” and that officers unsuccessfully sought to encourage the crowd to leave. Police said four people were arrested for assault and public order offenses and they remain in police custody.
Police commander Colin Wingrove said the violence was “totally unacceptable” and an investigation is now taking place.
