Met police say further arrests expected after 24 were detained during ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march in London
Police are searching for a man who called for Keir Starmer to be killed during Saturday’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London, with further arrests expected in the coming days after outbreaks of violence.
Police estimated that between 110,000 and 150,000 people attended the far-right event, organised by the activist known as Tommy Robinson, which was described by a cabinet minister on Sunday as a “klaxon call” for the government.
A total of 26 police officers were injured in clashes as projectiles were hurled, and the Metropolitan police said on Sunday that 24 people were arrested for a range of alleged offences including common assault and violent disorder.
The force said a post-event investigation was under way, with officers working to identify other people involved in disorder with a view to making further arrests.
