A raucous group of partygoers were seen standing off with riot police in London after officers tried to disband a street gathering, some throwing bottles at cops in the third consecutive night of clashes over illegal parties.
Chaotic scenes appeared in footage on social media on Friday, showing police decked out in riot gear as they tried to clear several block parties in London, which in some areas became violent when partiers refused to leave. Police helicopters have reportedly been deployed amid the unrest.
