Police at the scene of chaos at Stratford station last night
The Metropolitan Police was present outside Stratford station last night and said a teenage girl has been arrested and detained at an East London police station.
A police spokesman said: ‘Police were called at 6:24 PM on Monday, October 31, saying that a group of people were setting off fireworks near Stratford bus station.
“Agents were there. No injuries were reported.
A teenage girl has been arrested after fireworks were thrown at officers. She is still detained in a police station in East London.
“The investigation is ongoing.”
While similar events took place in Dundee, where riot police were called after a group of youths set off fireworks and blocked roads with bonfires.
There were reports of vehicles being hit with rocks and people jumping on car roofs in the Scottish town. Another image showed windows being smashed at a nearby school.
Chief Superintendent Phil Davison said: “There is no justification for the behavior and disorder seen last night in the Kirkton area of Dundee.
‘Investigations are underway to identify all those involved.
Throwing fireworks and other items at emergency services is reckless and dangerous. No one should go to work and expect to be attacked.
An officer suffered minor injuries and damage was caused to a school and a number of vehicles.
“I would like to reassure the Dundee public that we remain committed to keeping them safe as we understand that last night’s behavior must have been very disturbing to residents in the areas.”
On the weekend leading up to Halloween, gangs of youths threw fireworks at cars and damaged street furniture in Liverpool.
