Yobs attack brave Iranian calling Hamas terrorists at Pro-Palestine protest in London
An estimated 200,000 to 250,000 people took part in today's demonstration, with at least 11 arrested.
Violence flared during the pro-Palestine march in London after an Iranian protester waving a placard asking whether Hamas was a terrorist organisation was attacked by demonstrators.
Meanwhile police have extended an order requiring people to remove face coverings after an incident at Hyde Park Corner.
The footage was shared via Visegrad 24, which commented: "Anti-Israel protesters in London have yet again physically attacked the Iranian patriot @GhorbaniiNiyak for carrying an anti-Hamas sign."
The Met tweeted: "The Section 60AA order requires anyone wearing a face covering for the purpose of concealing their identity to remove it when asked to do so."
The order was in force until 8pm in a red area centred on the park.
It added: "As a result of the incident at Hyde Park Corner, a Section 60 order will also be in force in the same area until 8pm, providing officers with additional search powers to prevent further violence.
"A Section 35 dispersal order is also now in force until 11pm, meaning anyone refusing a direction to leave the area can be arrested.
