The Met Police has launched an appeal to trace 11 people ‘linked to disorder’ following the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in London on Saturday
The Met Police is appealing to the public for help tracing 11 people “linked to disorder near Whitehall” following Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in London on Saturday.
Police are looking to speak to 11 people “in connection with a range of public order and assault on emergency services offences”, a press release said today. Images of the individuals have been released.
Detective Chief Inspector Natalie Norris, from the Met’s Public Order Crime Team, said: “Public order policing doesn’t end when the event is over and since Saturday, our teams have been working to identify those involved in any criminality. Our post-event investigation is ongoing and officers have trawled through hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and continue to review evidence to help with enquiries.”
She continued: “We have identified a number of people we want to speak to in connection with a range of offences – and we are asking for the public’s help to track them down. As with any major event, we know people may have travelled from outside of London, so we’re asking for people across the country to take a look at those pictured and get in touch if they recognise anyone.”
The Met is urging anyone with information or footage that may help identify individuals to call 101 quoting CAD 4624/15SEP25 or tweet @MetCC. Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Between 110,000 and 150,000 people are estimated to have taken part in Saturday’s protest organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Counter-protests also took place.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the protest, branding it “plastic patriotism” in an interview with Channel 4 News. He said: “It sent a shiver through so many of our communities who now feel more scared than they did before. I understand that.”
Starmer also linked the rally with Reform UK, saying he was “absolutely determined to lead in this fight of our times between renewal, the patriotic cause of the Labour Party, and the division and toxic chaos and decline that would come under Reform”.
Earlier on Monday, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage condemned the violence against police, calling it “horrible” at a press conference – but insisted the vast majority of people at the rally were “good, ordinary decent people who are very, very concerned about what’s happening in this country”.
Projectiles were thrown at police on Saturday, leaving 26 officers injured – four seriously. Police arrested 24 people for offences including affray, violent disorder, assault and criminal damage. Of those, eight have since been charged. Of the remaining 16, one received a caution and 11 were bailed under investigation, pending further inquiries.
According to the Met Police’s press release on Monday, the following eight people have been charged following Saturday’s rally:
- Richard Hamilton, 42, of Braeside Place, Glasgow, was charged with assault on an emergency worker. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday and was remanded in custody.
