Anti-Tory protesters descended on Downing Street in central London after the Conservatives shocked pollsters by securing a parliamentary majority during the general election on Thursday.
A war memorial in central London was vandalized during the protests against Prime Minister David Cameron’s surprise election win.
Many demonstrators held placards signaling their opposition to Cameron’s economic austerity policies.
Clashes between demonstrators and police broke out, with four people arrested for a variety of public order offenses, according to Scotland Yard. Protesters threw bottles, cans, as well as a bicycle at police during the unrest, according to a Reuters reporter on scene, who estimated several hundred people took part in the demonstration. No members of the public were reported injured, police said.
