Footage taken this afternoon (April 23) shows the Met Police clashing with St George’s Day revellers who had gathered in Central London to celebrate England’s national day. Police horses and mounted officers were sent in to quell the scene after the Met put in a cordon to prevent marchers walking up Whitehall towards Trafalgar Square.
The Met Police later issued a statement on the disorder, saying: “There is an area allocated for this event in Richmond Terrace. This group went past it and continued up Whitehall. When officers formed a cordon and asked the group to turn round, they reacted by violently forcing their way through. Mounted officers intervened with horses to restore the cordon.” There were a total of six arrests throughout the day, according to the police.
