Hyde Park is sealed off after an officer is stabbed and four others are injured when water fight descends into riot as youths chanting 'Black Lives Matter' turn on police


At least three members of the public were also injured last night, with reports indicating at least one was stabbed in the chest, as police tried to disperse a huge water fight in Hyde Park during which rioters chanted 'Black Lives Matter'. Police say around 4,000 revellers descended on the central London park to soak up the sun yesterday on what was hottest day of the year so far. Now, the Metropolitan Police has announced it has launched an investigation into the disorder which was apparently sparked after officers prevented members of the crowd from setting up a sound system.
