A man has been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred after Saturday's pro-Palestine march in London. He is now in custody, the Metropolitan Police said. The man 'filmed shouting racist abuse in Whitehall' the force said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. About 100,000 demonstrators gathered in the capital in a show of solidarity for Palestine and to demand an immediate end to Israel's bombardment of Gaza.
It added that five police officers had 'received minor injuries'. The Met said has seen a huge rise in antisemitic and Islamophobic hate crimes from the start of October. Another person was arrested at an Israeli vigil hosted by the Jewish Leadership Council in Trafalgar Square on Sunday afternoon. The Met said officers made an arrest for a racially aggravated public order offence and the suspect was in custody.
