As a result of the illegal gatherings in London, police have arrested seven people within 24 hours.
According to Evening Standard among the people arrested were two people who were carrying a “Rambo-style” knife and a gun between them.
After local residents reported that a large group of people were setting up a sound system in Hoskins Close, Newham, the attention of officers was called immediately to the area at 4.50pm on Friday.
Another arrest involving three more people was also made at an event in Third Avenue, near Kensal Green, on suspicion of violent disorder, a breach of Covid-19 health regulations and racially aggravated public order towards officers.
Meanwhile, two people were also arrested at the same event for attacks on officers – one for throwing a bar stool at an officer, who was uninjured, and the other for racially abusing an officer.
Two officers suffered injuries while policing the incidents but did not require hospital treatment.
