Tottenham Riots 2011: 100 Arrests Made and Dozens of Police officers Injured

The Tottenham Riots 2011 have led to more than 100 arrests and dozens of injured policemen who found themselves immediately in the front line a menacing mob of hundreds of terrifyingly mindless and violent protesters.

Charges including violent disorder, theft, and burglary have been brought against 100 rioters following an unprecedented attack in North London after local Tottenham man and father of-four-Mark Duggan, 29, was shot and killed as police tried to arrest him travelling in a taxi in Tottenham on Thursday afternoon.

The Metropolitan Police force have confirmed that at least nine of their police officers were injured in rioting that hit the streets last night, with three police officers needing hospital treatment after they were run down by a high speed car.

“Officers are shocked at the outrageous level of violence directed against them.

“At least nine officers were injuired overnight in addition to the 26 officers injured on Saturday night.

“We will not tolerate this disgraceful violence.

“The investigation continues to bring these criminals to justice”, warns Metropolitan Police Commander Christine Jones.

The Home Secretary Theresa May has warned that the ringleaders and anyone behind the violent acts of Tottenham Riots 2011 will be made to face the consequences of their mindless actions  and has called upon each member of the community to do all they can to help police with their investigations to bring the guilty to justice.
