Sir Mark Rowley has compared two pro-Israel protesters to 'stupid' football fans after the waved an Israeli flag at a Palestine Action rally.

The Met chief accused the Jewish counter-protesters of trying to 'create an incident' when they walked into the crowd in Trafalgar Square with a megaphone and flag.

Trainee barrister Isaac Grand, 22, and another man, who did not want to be named, had to be bundled onto a nearby double-decker bus by officers.

The duo accused Scotland Yard of 'two-tier policing', with a video showing an officer telling them they were 'winding the crowd up' and creating a breach of peace by waving an Israeli flag.

But Sir Mark has hit back and compared them to a Tottenham Hotspur fan unfurling a club flag in the midst of a crowd of Arsenal supporters.
