A police leader has said an anti-lockdown protest in which eight officers were injured will be raised with senior management in the Metropolitan Police with utmost urgency .
Demonstrators hurled bottles as officers attempted to disperse the crowds in Hyde Park on Saturday evening after thousands marched in London protesting against vaccine passports and coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
Photographs posted on social media showed a female police officer bleeding from a cut to her head while another suffered a similar wound on his forehead.
The Met said two officers were taken to hospital, although their injuries are not believed to be serious.
