Violence has erupted on the streets of London during a protest supporting Palestinians as police arrested a suspect for throwing a bottle at pro-Israeli counter-protesters and a man was filmed apparently performing a Nazi salute.
Activists calling for urgent aid to be sent to Gaza and for Israel to stop bombing Iran yelled 'shame on you' at the pro-Israeli counter-demo.
Thousands of demonstrators were heading to Whitehall from Russell Square in central London and waved Palestinian flags and chanted 'free, free Palestine,' 'occupation no more, 'Israel is a terrorist state,' and 'stop bombing Iran'.
Campaigners gathered in large numbers under the banner of the Palestine Coalition.
But things took an ugly turn as they passed a group of counter-protesters assembled near Waterloo Bridge by the pro-Israeli group Stop the Hate.
