Met Police Hunt 20 Men After Violent London Clash
The Metropolitan Police are on the lookout for 20 men involved in a violent counter-protest in central London on Saturday, 11 November. Tensions boiled over near Whitehall, sparking several incidents of disorder.

The Met is urging anyone across the UK to check out the images of these 20 men and come forward if they recognise them. Many may have travelled from outside London to take part. Officers want to question them about numerous offences linked to the chaotic scenes.
