The Metropolitan Police released footage showing a group of men - some draped in St George's flags - clashing with officers in Whitehall.
At least six people have been arrested after violence broke out at a St George's Day event in central London. The Metropolitan Police earlier released footage showing a group of men - some draped in St George's flags - clashing with officers in Whitehall. A man was arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty after 'a police horse was targeted on Whitehall', the Met said. Another man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.
Shortly after 2pm, the force posted on X: 'The event is not due to start for an hour and regrettably officers are already dealing with disorder. '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.
