Grenfell protesters attack man thinking he's chief executive of tower management company
GRENFELL protestors have attacked a man outside Kensington Town Hall thinking he is the chief executive of the company who manage the fire-hit tower block.
A huge demonstration took place outside the council building this afternoon as anger mounts over the deaths at Grenfell Tower.
Minor scuffles appear to have broken out as police tried to escort staff out of the building as protestors barred the doors.
And one man, wearing a dark grey suit and pale blue open-neck shirt and clutching a shoulder bag, was assaulted as he tried to leave the scene.

In another image, one protestor can be seen with his lower arm in the man’s shoulder as he tries to hook his leg around him to trip him up as water splatters everywhere.
With the official death toll currently standing at 30 and set to rise, the community has rallied together, but is now demanding answers.
Hundreds of people have been chanting “not 17” in answer to the lower official death toll listed yesterday, with some claiming of a cover up to the real number.
Others used megaphones to shout up to council offices about their responses to the community.
While other protesters held plaques shouting “we demand an inquest” and “justice for Grenfell”.
Police tried in vain to stop the crowd from making their way up their stairs and traffic along the one-way street has been stopped as the crowds continue to flood the area.
Among the crowds is a woman brandishing lists of managers and demanding they be held accountable - including CEO Robert Black.
