Two men arrested for alleged attack on anti-racism activist at Tommy Robinson rally

Two individuals were taken into custody at Tommy Robinson's London event over the weekend following an assault on an anti-racism activist, according to authorities.

The activist from Stand Up To Racism was involved in a protest against racism when he suffered a head injury at Victoria Embankment Gardens, as reported by the Metropolitan Police.

Both males were taken into custody under suspicion of committing an assault that caused serious bodily harm.

He was provided with initial medical treatment by officials and will be transported to the hospital for evaluation," stated a representative of the police force.

We know that some people on social media are saying that the arrests happened because someone was carrying a flag, but that is not true.

Many individuals gathered for the 'unity' procession that started at the Royal Courts of Justice and ended at Trafalgar Square last Saturday.

Around 1,000 officers from the Metropolitan Police were sent to oversee the event, causing a response from Jeremy Corbyn's Peace & Justice group, Stand Up To Racism, and other groups to hold a counter demonstration.

The group of people against the protest walked from Russell Square to Whitehall, with backing from various trade unions, the Stop The War coalition, Unite Against Fascism, and other supporters.

Fans of Mr. Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley Lennon, gathered in large numbers at The Strand, proudly displaying the flags of England, Scotland, Wales, and the United Kingdom outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

People were singing "Rule Britannia", mentioning Mr. Robinson, and chanting "we want our country back".

A guy was spotted wearing a shirt that said he sees himself as English, while some others were sporting Donald Trump gear.
