English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson has been arrested by police while attending a march against antisemitism in London.
Fears had been raised that Robinson, the former leader of the far-right grouping, could disrupt the march organised by the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA).
According to the CAA, 60,000 people are attending the National March Against Antisemitism in central London. It began at the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand at 1:30pm before passing along Whitehall and ending at Parliament Square.
The Metropolitan Police had made clear in advance that Robinson was "not welcome" at the march, with the force warning that any offences "whether from within the protest or from any groups trying to challenge or interfere with the march" would be dealt with.
