The Met said it made arrests for a range of offences including violent disorder, assault on an emergency worker, and breach of protest conditions on Wednesday evening.

Police clashed with protesters on Whitehall, close to Downing Street, during a demonstration in the wake of the fatal stabbings of three girls at a dance studio in Southport on Monday.

In a statement the Met said officers were deployed to "ensure disorder was contained" but added that some "suffered minor injuries".
