Police have arrested 12 people during an anti-lockdown protest that took place in south London.
Police officers clashed with some of the protestors who arrived in Clapham Common, some shouting “take your freedom back”.
Six police vans were deployed to the scene while officers moved crowds away from the area.
The Metropolitan Police said gathering for the purpose of a protest is not an exemption to the rules.
One anti-lockdown protestor, who was detained at Clapham Common park, said “I stand under common law, not maritime law and this is assault” as he was put into handcuffs by police officers.
