Three police officers were injured and 40 people have been arrested following a pro-Palestinian protest in London on Tuesday evening.
One officer was left with a serious facial injury after she was hit by a bottle thrown from the crowd, while two other officers suffered minor injuries.Metropolitan Police said the suspect who threw the bottle has not been identified but the force is investigating.Videos taken at the event on Tuesday evening show thousands of Palestine supporters taking over the streets around Parliament, with crowds chanting and reportedly blocking roads.
However, a group of around 500 people remained and police began making a number of arrests for being in breach of the protest time conditions laid out.Some of the crowd resisted arrest which required police to "use force" to remove them from the crowd.A group of protesters then broke away with some of the crowd and marched to Bridge Street, outside Westminster Station, where police put up cordons to detain the group.
