Clashes erupt at 'Black Lives Matter' protest in London

Police sent reinforcements to prevent the protesters from getting through the arches toward King Charles Street and then onto St. James’s Park. The protest took place by the arches that effectively connect the offices of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

London: Scuffles broke out on Sunday between police and protesters in central London by the arches that effectively connect the Foreign Office and the Treasury.

Objects were thrown at police lining up at the three arches that bridge the connection just off Whitehall, which is also near the offices of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Many of the demonstrators, who gathered earlier Sunday outside the US embassy just south of the River Thames, moved towards central London, where clashes also took place Saturday.
