Anarchists and anti-vaxxers have set an effigy of Prime Minister Boris Johnson ablaze in Trafalgar Square as hundreds of protestors clash with police on the streets of London amid the annual Million Mask March.
Twelve anarchists were arrested and eight police officers were injured in the frenzy which saw hordes of rioters sporting Guy Fawkes masks, flares and weapons hurl fireworks at officers, forcing riot police to pile into the crowd to confiscate the missiles.
Other groups of anarchists joined arms and rushed the police, leading to violent clashes and fights between the protestors and officers in Parliament Square, Trafalgar Square and Oxford Circus.
The Met has issued a dispersal order for Westminster, urging protestors to disband, but footage has emerged of riot police locked in a battle with rioters just metres from the Houses of Parliament.
Footage from the protest has shown several rioters being hauled away by riot police after intense scraps with officers.
It comes as families and children are out in droves to celebrate bonfire night as they attend fireworks displays all over the city.
Police officers have also set up a cordon and reinforced security outside the BBC headquarters at Portland Place to protect the building from surging protestors at Oxford Circus.
One, who gave his name only as Richard, from London, said the protest was a 'continuation of the anti-Covid marches'.
'It's a couple of fingers in the direction of the establishment,' he said.
The march, which has been held each year since 2012, sees anarchists and anti-establishment protestors rally against government corruption, wealth inequality and, as of last year, coronavirus restrictions.
Almost 200 people, including businessman and prominent anti-vaxxer Piers Corbyn, were arrested in last year's march for breaching Covid restrictions.
