Seven police officials were injured in violence at an unlicensed musical event in the British capital as they sought to break up a crowd that posed a risk to public health during the coronavirus pandemic, police said on Saturday.

Those at Friday’s event became violent and threw projectiles at police as they entered an estate at Havelock Close in west London, the police said in a statement.
