Shocking footage has revealed the moment a Metropolitan Police officer punched a protester in the face as she resisted an immigration raid in Peckham.
It is among a series of allegations of violence made against the Met during Saturday’s events, which ended with a man being bailed and cops leaving empty-handed. One protester said police knelt on their back, while others reported seeing people pushed and trampled.
Video obtained by openDemocracy shows police officers pushing protesters, and captures one appearing to punch someone as the crowd’s chants of “go away, facist scum” get louder.
