The confrontations escalated to alarming levels, with one individual captured on video allegedly striking a police horse with an umbrella. The incident unfolded despite earlier warnings from the Met, who anticipated the presence of “far-right groups and groups linked to football clubs travelling from elsewhere in the UK” at the event.
