Twelve people have been arrested and at least five officers “seriously injured” after clashes outside the Iranian Embassy in London, the Metropolitan Police have said.
Five officers were hospitalised, some with broken bones, despite riot police equipped with shields and helmets being brought in to “restore order among the protestors and to protect other officers”, the force said.
The disorder initially broke out in the immediate vicinity of the embassy, before moving to Marble Arch and then to Maida Vale, where the Islamic Centre of England was targeted. Masonry, bottles and other projectiles were thrown, Scotland Yard said.
