A crowded London march organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson is making headlines for all of the wrong reasons. According to police, 26 police officers were injured (four seriously hurt) following Robinson’s rally over the weekend which also involved counterprotesters. Some officers suffered serious injuries including loss of teeth and concussions, a broken nose, and at least one spinal injury. The rally included online remarks from none other than Elon Musk.
According to police, some 25 people were arrested for a host of offenses including violent disorder, assaults, and criminal damage. Police say that an investigation is ongoing as they believe not everyone had showed up to the protests with good intentions. Some reports have attendance of more than 110,000-150,000 people and was called the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally.
