Two female police officers were sexually assaulted and 74 officers were injured during the Notting Hill Carnival, London’s Metropolitan Police has said.

Hundreds of thousands of people attended the carnival on Sunday and Monday—the first time it has been held since 2019 because of COVID-19 restrictions in the last two years.
