The UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday said he’s “deeply concerned” over footage showing clashes between police and protesters at a vigil for alleged murder victim Sarah Everard.

The Metropolitan police on Saturday drew public criticisms and faced an official inquiry after officers clashed with and tackled to the ground protesters gathered at a memorial for Everard at Clapham Common, London, defying the government’s CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus restrictions.
