The Metropolitan Police have arrested 11 protesters in London on Sunday at demonstrations showing solidarity to George Floyd for a series of offenses including breaches to coronavirus legislation. Protesters gathered in central London’s Trafalgar Square at 8 a.m. ET to show support to Americans protesting the killing of George Floyd, despite UK lockdown rules that prohibit large crowds from gathering together.
In a series of tweets, police said the arrests varied in offenses including breaches to coronavirus legislation, possession of an offensive weapon to"assault on police" and obstructing a public carriageway.Social media posts show more protests are planned in London during the week.
