Three officers were hurt and 40 people arrested at the demonstration in Westminster
Three police officers were injured and 40 people have been arrested during a protest in Westminster on Tuesday night.
One officer was left with a serious facial injury after she was hit by a bottle thrown from the crowd, while two officers suffered minor injuries.
Metropolitan Police said the suspect who threw the bottle has not been identified but investigations are ongoing.
A protest organised by a coalition of groups, including the Palestine Solidarity Group, began at around 6pm and was required to end at 8pm, police said.
A group of around 500 people remained and police began making a number of arrests for failing to comply.
Police said that when some of the crowd resisted arrest, officers were required to use force to remove them.
They added that a breakaway protest then took place, with the crowd marching to Bridge Street outside Westminster Station, where police cordons were erected to detain the group.
