Fifteen police officers injured at illegal music event in Brixton
The Metropolitan police have said 15 officers were injured and police vehicles damaged when they attended a large unlicensed music event in breach of the coronavirus lockdown on Wednesday night.
Footage on social media showed a number of police vehicles being smashed and officers chased during a confrontation with a large crown near the Angell Town estate in Brixton, south-east London.
The Met police said a group of people became hostile when officers encouraged them to leave the event. It said 15 officers were injured, including two who required hospital treatment, though none of the injuries are thought to be serious.
Four people were arrested for assault and public order offences, the force said, adding that gatherings like these were “unlawful, as well as posing a risk to public health and against coronavirus restrictions”.
