G20 clashes at the Bank of England

In central London today, protests turned violent ahead of tomorrow's G20 summit. A hardcore group of demonstrators close to the Bank of England smashed their way into a Royal Bank of Scotland branch, breaking windows and wrecking the interior, at one point trying to set the curtains alight.

Riot police on foot and on horses were used to remove the 20 protesters who spent a quarter of an hour ransacking the RBS building, tearing out computers and telephones. Apparently 19 people have been arrested after a small group among the 4,000-strong crowd broke through the police line.

Although the demonstrations began peacefully, bloody clashes erupted as police tried to keep thousands of people in containment pens on Threadneedle street. Police were involved in scuffles, which saw officers pelted with bottles, eggs, fruit and paint. Some police also had their helmets ripped from their heads and thrown into the air to the cheer of the crowd. Police responded by using truncheons, batons and pepper spray.

For a couple of hours, a small group of protesters pushed against the police line on Threadneedle Street, provoking clashes that left several officers and demonstrators injured.

Police used truncheons and batons to beat back the protesters each time they surged forward. Some in the pens demanded to be released, saying they were being denied the right to march.
