Police have been making arrests 'left, right and centre', a reveller at Notting Hill Carnival has claimed as authorities look to clamp down on anti-social behaviour.

More than one million people hit the streets of the west London district as Adults Day commenced earlier this morning.

A sea of colourful costumes, floats, dancing and music flooded the streets in celebration of Caribbean culture.

Yesterday officers made more than 140 arrests, 105 at the event itself and 35 on the approaches as a result of police facial recognition systems and patrolling officers.

Elsewhere in the Lancaster Road area, a flurry of arrests in separate incidents have taken place with five people taken into custody in five minutes.
