Officers are said to be 'closely monitoring' the demonstration.

Police officers have suffered “minor injuries” during “scuffles” at an anti-vaccine passport protest in Parliament Square.

The officers were injured while attempting to escort a police motorcyclist through the area at around 12.30pm on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.


Later at around 3pm a group of protesters stopped outside a shop on Regents Street, police said.

They began “directing abuse” at people inside and egging the shop until police intervened, ending the incident.

No injuries were reported.

Officers are said to be “closely monitoring” the demonstration.

The Met added that no arrests have been made.

GB News London reporter Alice Porter told Alastair Stewart that there was "a jovial atmosphere" with "no animosity."

"I was speaking to one man who said he's never been to a protest before. It was the vote on Tuesday for Covid passes that was the issue."
