Scores arrested after far-right groups target anti-racism protests in London and Paris

-

More than 100 people were arrested in London on Saturday after violence broke out as far-right groups targeted anti-racism Black Lives Matter (BLM) demonstrations.

British police officers scuffle with members of far-right groups protesting against a Black Lives Matter demonstration in central London on Saturday.

The offenses as of 9 p.m. included violent disorder, assault on officers, possession of an offensive weapon, possession of class A drugs, and drunken disorder, London's Metropolitan Police said in a tweet.

Far-right groups bombarded police with bottles and occasionally scuffled violently with officers as they staged a counter-protest in central London.

Police also arrested a 28-year-old man after an individual was photographed on Saturday apparently urinating on a memorial to a police officer killed while defending Parliament from a terrorist attack in 2017.

The man was arrested north of London "on suspicion of outraging public decency," police said.

Hundreds of mostly middle-aged white men, many shirtless or clutching beers, gathered in Parliament Square, where video showed a small number of right-wing protesters throwing objects at a line of police, some of whom responded with batons.

The groups, some of them chanting "England" during clashes, said the counter-protest was intended to "protect" statues around Parliament Square, including that of wartime prime minister Winston Churchill.

UK Home Secretary Priti Patel described the behavior as "thoroughly unacceptable thuggery."
