Police were Attacked as they helped Dying Man at G20 Protests in City
It is police officers this time that came under an attack when they actually attempted to salvage a dying person at G20 protests last night in the City.
The victim was identified lying unconscious by a police person along the street near Bank of England around 7.30 pm on Wednesday.
Then, some Metropolitan officers arrived there to help the person move to emergency room treatment. It was then some missiles (most of them bottles) were thrown at these members of public by G20 protesters.
The man was given CPR and tried to resuscitate at the scene as well as on the way to taking him to hospital. The victim then was taken for treatment and was eventually pronounced dead on arrival to the hospital. An eye witness says that the person must be in 30s and died of natural causes. About 90 were arrested during the first day of G20 summit.
Looks like police are braced for more G20 violence on Thursday, today. Commander Simon O’Brien of the London Metropolitan Police sent a warning that there maybe more clashes between officers as well as G20 protestors and demonstrators.
All in all, there were about 87 arrests, which include some four for violence and disorder, six public order offences and 11 for police uniform possession. Four people arrested so far have been charged; 3 for possessing destructive weapons and one charged with assault.
All eyes will be on the meeting of world leaders at the Excel Centre today.
