According to the Metropolitan Police, law enforcement personnel arrested six individuals during a St. George's Day celebration in downtown London.
Police apprehended a male under the suspicion of inhumane treatment of animals following an incident involving a horse under their custody in the Westminster locality.
Three individuals were arrested for allegedly attacking a person performing emergency duties, one for suspected physical violence, and one for being under the influence of alcohol and causing a disturbance.
The police department known as The Met released a recording regarding X. It appears to display officers creating a barrier while a crowd forcefully moves beyond it.
Traffic had to be stopped on Whitehall until the matter was sorted out.
Later on, a crowd assembled across from Downing Street, where a significant number of law enforcement agents were also present.

It seemed like individuals were sporting and brandishing flags with the symbolic emblem of St. George.
The Metropolitan Police released a video on Tuesday at around 2 pm BST with the statement, "Despite the fact that the occasion is scheduled to commence in an hour, the officers are unfortunately already managing chaos."
A place has been set aside for this occasion at Richmond Terrace. However, this group proceeded ahead and carried on walking up Whitehall.
Officers created a barrier and requested the group to turn around, however, the group reacted by aggressively and forcefully pushing their way through. To restore the barrier, officers mounted horses and intervened.

Tommy Robinson, whose actual name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, took the floor at the St George's Day demonstration.
Before this, the police reported that some individuals in the vicinity were spotted wearing masks. Consequently, a Section 60AA directive is being enforced in Lambeth and Westminster to authorize officers to demand the taking off of face coverings.
People who went there were spotted waving flags with the St. George's Cross on them and paying attention to speeches, one of which involved a far-right person named Tommy Robinson (also known as Stephen Yaxley Lennon).
