Girl 1. 16:00 or around this time at Broad Sanctuary (road leading to Victoria Street), young white female, 5'10” wearing brown velvet trousers and short blue suede coat with fake fur collar and cuffs, long dark blonde hair tied back. As police moved forward officer SX185 pushed her to the floor and PULLED OUT A LARGE CHUNK OF HAIR FROM HER HEAD leaving a bald spot. We are told the officer was visibly pleased with with his actions.
Guy 1. 18:45 where Whitehall meets Horse Guards Avenue, young white male wearing a brown hoodie, gray scarf, black hat and blue jeans. Stood aside as police moved forward and was hit in face with shield and fell to ground. When he stood up he received a kick in the groin from an officer.
Guy 2. 20:20 corner of St. Margret's Church grounds, young white male black boots, black jeans, dark blue top, short brown hair. Tried to escape kettle by running into the church gardens followed by officers. When trapped in corner he turned round and raised hands to give up as one officer, believed to be 133LP or 133PL, charged at him with a riot shield knocking out a tooth. He was then arrested for 'threats to cause criminal damage' as police are saying he was shouting to smash the church, which he denies.
WERE YOU KETTLED ON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE? The protest ended in a packed kettle on Westminster Bridge where protesters were forced into a tightening kettle. We have had reports of injuries suffered due to the crush created by police. Please get in contact if you experienced this.

Bristol. "I'm potentially being charged for digging my nails into a police officer who was strangling me and am in desperate need of video or photo evidence of this event... It happened during the first attempt at occupying Bristol uni... I was wearing a Blue & White striped beanie hat and a grey scarf". See
