The protest in central London yesterday, 14 October, concluded without major issues, and thousands of people were able to express themselves at the planned demonstration.
In the evening there were small pockets of disorder and unacceptable criminality towards police officers in Trafalgar Square. Nine officers were treated for minor injuries.
Seven arrests were made during the protest. Four were for breach of section 60AA of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, two for public order offences and one for criminal damage.
The evening saw a further eight arrests for offences including assaults on emergency workers, setting off fireworks in a public place and public order offences.
Police officers are urgently viewing footage and other material of the protest and the aftermath. Where we have evidence of criminal offences having been committed, officers will work to identify and arrest those responsible..
