Hundreds of people at Palestine Action protest arrested

Police have arrested more than 400 people in London after crowds turned out for a Palestine Action demonstration - despite the group being banned.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said there were also seven other arrests for offences including five for assaulting officers.

Organisers Defend Our Juries had earlier said up to 700 people were at the event in Parliament Square and claimed police were preparing for the "largest mass arrest in their history".
