This shocking video was uploaded to YouTube last night. It shows a woman first trying to get back her wallet, which she says was just grabbed and taken by a police officer.

Then the crowd is attacked by police on horses, leading one woman to burst into tears and run away.

Watch



The police charge takes place 1 min in, despite no sign of violence or disturbance.

Update: It’s worth remembering that it wasn’t just cold and dark, but kids as young as ten were at the protest. There were several aged 13 stuck inside the police kettle. The panic could have led to people being crushed or trampled.

There’s been no mention of police using horses at all in the media.
