Footage has emerged on social media of heavily outnumbered Met police officers coming under attack during a so-called ‘anti-lockdown’ protest in central London.

Despite all government legal restrictions being lifted today, 19th July, the protest has gone ahead on so-called ‘freedom day’.

In the video, two officers can be seen trying to engage with the crowd, which has a number of children in it.

The officers – who are attached to the Met’s Territorial Support Group – are not in their public order gear.

The unit’s Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which is worn by the officials during violent confrontations (also known as their Level 1 equipment), can typically only be donned once the order of a senior officer or ground commander has been given.

As the officers attempt to reason with the hostile crowd, one of the officers appears to be struck in the face as bottles are thrown towards the officers, narrowly missing a young child being carried on an adult’s shoulders.

Kicking off – bottles being throw at the police anti lockdown protesters and police fighting back with some punches at parliament square, a good 2000 protesters here and a heavy police presence …. In this heat it’s going to be a long day of clashes pic.twitter.com/JGjtz5aGHu

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.

    To attack any emergency officer who is there to protect the public should be subject to an immediate long term jail term

    A lot of them must pay their fines through drugs money I guess and a prison only leaves them in comfort. Attacks on emergency services personnel should warrant strikes of the birch, preferably in public.

    I despair at the intelligence of some people! Because one cretin pulled into the hard shoulder doesn’t give everyone else permission to do it!
