At least 26 police officers were injured as they faced “significant aggression” from protesters at a “freedom of speech festival” led by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, Scotland Yard said.

There had been 25 arrests at the “Unite the Kingdom” protest for offences including affray, violent disorder, assaults and criminal damage at 7.30pm on Saturday, the force explained.

More than a hundred helmeted officers backed up by dozens of police horses rushed at the last of Robinson’s supporters after between 110,000 and 150,000 people took part in the march.


....The mass march has attracted international attention, with the world’s richest man Elon Musk appearing on a video link to address the crowds.
