London Police has confirmed that a number of revellers attending “Scumoween” event at a property in Lambeth hurled chairs, fire extinguishers and a suspected petrol bomb as they clashed with riot police. The number of attendants at the event were suspected to be in hundreds.
Southwark Metropolitan Police stated that several revellers allegedly walked down Vauxhall railway tracks to gain access and some even hurled heavy propane tanks as missiles. Police refrained from confirming the number of arrests made during the night. Whereas on the other hand, the organizers of the event, Scum Tek, alleged that it was a free event set to feature music from the “full spectrum of underground dance.” When police crashed the party, the organizers mentioned that “this is party is going ahead, stay peaceful, stay calm,” adding that “patience and numbers is in our favour. Do not antagonise the police. “At the end of the day we want to leave them remembering our good attitudes, we just came to dance, we are not the enemy.”
However, in response to growing misbehaviour, Police alleged to have stationed officers at junctions to nearby road Whitgift Street after crowds gathered on Black Prince Road at Albert Embankment. Police said that it was going to “prevent any escalation of the trouble” as the disorder began when people started throwing chairs, bottles and a possible petrol bomb whilst chanting “scum” and “pigs”. Meanwhile, a Metropolitan Police spokesman revealed that “during this confrontation a number of missiles were thrown at officers, including one reported ‘petrol bomb’.”
