“These are utterly vile scenes,” said Home Secretary Priti Patel of the disorder in the capital’s Brixton area. None of the officers were injured seriously, though two required hospital treatment, police said in a statement. Some police cars were damaged and four people were arrested. Unverified images on social media showed a crowd - with one person holding an object that looked like a sword - confronting officers and attacking a police car.Patel said the incident was particularly wrong given the recent stabbing at a park in Reading where three people died in what police said was a terrorism incident.
