Pro-Brexit supporter (13-year-old girl) arrested for assaulting a policeman. I appreciate the country is divided on the issue but there is no excuse for this assault nor for not clearing the protest in advance with the authorities.
Quote:
According to reports, about 100 demonstrators took part in the protest, which began at 11am on Saturday with a blockade of Westminster Bridge. They moved on to Parliament Square, where they set off smoke bombs and sat in the roads.
The disruption caused tailbacks and diversions, according to Transport for London, which said buses serving the area had been delayed and subsequently diverted.
The Metropolitan police’s Westminster division reported the arrests on its Twitter feed. It said: “Four arrests have been made following protests on Westminster Bridge, SW1 at approximately 11am today. Three men arrested on suspicion of public order offences.
“A 13-year-old girl was also arrested on suspicion of assault on police. Inquiries continue.”
