Police arrested 31 people in connection with plans to disrupt Saturday’s Epsom Derby, including a man who was detained after running onto the track, as major sporting events in Britain continue to be affected by protests.

Last month, protest group Animal Rising issued a call for volunteers to help disrupt the event by entering the track.
