Tottenham Riots After Shooting

Petrol bombs were thrown, shops looted and eight officers injured during violent riots in Tottenham following a protest over the fatal shooting of a man by police. Members of the public are now being moved away from the centre of the disorder in Tottenham High Road, where a crowd of around 300 had set fire to buildings, bins and vehicles. Eight police officers were taken to hospital - with at least one suffering head injuries - after violence that lasted from late on Saturday night into Sunday morning. A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said paramedics had treated a total of 11 people, 10 of whom were taken to hospital. By the early hours of Sunday, many protesters had moved to nearby Tottenham Hale retail park, where some were spotted looting PC World and JD Sports. Violence escalated shortly after dark, when protesters set fire to two police cars and a double decker bus. The cars, which were parked around 200 yards from the police station, were set upon shortly after dark.
