Clashes break out in London outside Downing Street as the killing of 3 children sparks more violence
LONDON (AP) - Protesters clashed with police near British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s residence in Downing Street in central London on Wednesday evening in the wake of the killing of three girls who were fatally stabbed in northwest England earlier this week.
The violence came a day after far-right protesters clashed with police outside a mosque in a northwest England town where three girls were fatally stabbed during a Taylor Swift-themed summer holiday dance and yoga class.
Police detained several individuals after bottles and cans were thrown at them and formed a new cordon outside the heart of the British government. The protesters chanted "you're not English any more" at police, as well as Islamophobic comments.
A police helicopter flew overhead. More than 50 officers were injured, including more than two dozen who were taken to hospitals, officials said.
