A man who burst into a blind woman's flat has been arrested on suspicion of common assault.
The suspect, aged in his 20s and suspected of being a migrant from the Britannia Hotel, was held in Hackney, east London, in the early hours of this morning.
He is said to have entered the house on Wednesday night after being followed by a group of men on the street and told to 'go back to the hotel' where anti-migrant protesters were gathered outside.
A spokesperson for the Met this morning said: 'Our investigation continued on Thursday, with officers carrying out extensive CCTV enquiries and speaking to witnesses.
'As a result of this, in the early hours of this morning - Friday, 15 August - we arrested a man in the Hackney area on suspicion of common assault. He is believed to be in his early 20s.
