Halloween

Recommended Posts

An illegal Halloween rave in central London descended into chaos overnight as riot police were bombarded with projectiles, reportedly including a petrol bomb.

A number of revellers were arrested when police became involved in six hours of skirmishes as hundreds of people tried to get into the Halloween event, dubbed “Scumoween”, in Lambeth.

Police were on the scene throughout the night dealing with what they described as “public disorder and criminal damage”. Four officers suffered minor injuries, the Met said, and a man was also treated by London Ambulance Service.

Police said: “During this confrontation a number of missiles where thrown at officers, including one reported petrol bomb.”

Bangers were also thrown, a male was seen letting off a fire extinguisher and bins were set alight on some surrounding streets.

Riot police, with dogs and shields, were seen drawing their batons against a charging crowd.
