The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), commonly known as the MET police, has apologised on Friday after several journalists reported that they received threats from police officers when covering Thursday’s anti-lockdown protest in London, an editors’ association has said.

The Society of Editors (SoE) on Saturday said it welcomed a statement from MPS apologising for “any confusion or difficulties” that some journalists had experienced.
