Event to mark death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi descends into violence 4 injured, 1 arrested: Metropolitan Police LONDON: Clashes in London between supporters and opponents of Iran’s government on Friday left four people with injuries, Sky News reported on Saturday. One person was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder following the clashes. Metropolitan Police officers were called to the scene at about 6 p.m. following reports of violence. Pro-Tehran demonstrators had held an event to mark the death of President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash last week. Outside the venue, anti-Tehran protesters held a counter-demonstration, and clashes broke out between the two sides. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said four people were treated by paramedics for injuries. “Their injuries are not believed to be either life threatening or life changing,” the spokesperson added. “Further inquiries will now follow to establish what further offences took place and to identify those involved.”
