Scuffles have broken out between police and Tommy Robinson's 'Unite the Kingdom' rally today in London (September 13) as some 110,000 people gather in the capital.
The Metropolitan Police have deployed some 1,600 officers in the city and formed a 'sterile zone' between Robinson's nationalist protestors and counter-protests from Stand Up To Racism.
The separate marches were located on opposite sides of the Thames but converged on Whitehall, close to Downing Street and the Houses of Parliament.
Reports from PA described a tense scene as opposing protestors 'stared each other down' just metres apart.
It is at this sterile zone, manned by police with riot shields, that scuffles have broken out, with a 'number of officers assaulted' and projectiles thrown, according to the force.
