Protestors clash with police in U.K. over new policing law

The contentious bill, which is currently going through Parliament, gives police stronger powers to restrict protests.
Police in the English city of Bristol say they arrested 10 people during a third night of protest against a new policing law. Hundreds of demonstrators against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill staged a sit-down protest outside a police station in the southwest England city on Friday night, and some scuffled with officers in helmets and shields who tried to break up the gathering. The Avon and Somerset Police force said on Saturday that eggs, bottles and bricks were thrown at officers and a police horse was daubed with paint.More Related News
