Scuffles and arrests at Floyd protest in London

Police clashed with protesters in central London on Wednesday evening, making several arrests after a day of demonstrations in the city following the death of George Floyd. Thousands of people protested in the city against police violence and racial injustice following the killing of Floyd in Minneapolis, which has set off days of unrest in the United States. The demonstration began in Hyde Park, with protesters chanting “Black Lives Matter,” before many of them later marched through the streets, blocking traffic. Police advanced towards crowds of demonstrators with batons, eventually making several arrests.
