Two officers were injured as a result of the fracas as police attempted to disperse crowds in Ealing on Thursday night.

Two police dogs were also injured during the altercation after the “Wild n Out” music show at Ealing Town Hall was shut down after 11pm due to overcrowding.

According to one organiser, 2,000 people had turned up to the 600-capacity venue.

Rioting is thought to have broken out soon after in nearby Longfield Avenue with officers making several arrests as they fought to bring the mob under control with support from the Met’s Territorial Support Group.

Roads were closed off and buses diverted while officers attempted to control the violence.
