Police are seen speaking to an individual who then turns to the person behind the camera and spits in his direction, in full view of one of the officers. The incident took place near University College London.
Shocking footage shows the moment a man spits towards a group of counter-protesters supporting Israel near a pro-Palestine demonstration in London .
The exasperated policeman then appears to try to justify letting the man go, saying to the shocked person taking the video: 'He done it on your... in front of you. Yeah, he's not saying sorry he's being rude.' It took place outside UCL, where Israel-supporting demonstrators faced off with a pro-Palestine crowd.
Around 50 pro-Israel gathered too, The Telegraph reports, waving Union Jacks and Israeli flags and chanting: 'Terrorist supporters off our streets. Anti-Semites off our streets.' More than 40 police officers were on the scene, and reportedly stopped three men who were carrying signs saying 'Hamas are terrorists' and holding Israel flags from crossing over to the side where the pro-Palestine demonstrators were.
