London police say 11 arrests in total have been made as tens of thousands march in concurrent anti-Israel and anti-migrant protests assemble on separate sides of the city.
Police say officers have arrested two men, wanted on suspicion of being connected of running over a man in Birmingham, while trying to attend the Unite the Kingdom protest.
Separately, a woman at the anti-Israel protest was arrested for refusing to remove a face mask, the UK’s Press Association reports.
