Black Lives Matter protester rescues suspected far-right protester from violent riot
A video has gone viral showing a BLM protester rescuing an alleged far-right protester.
A protest in London descended into chaos when the opposing groups were flanked by riot police.
A man that was identified by the crowd as a far-right protester was protected and carried to safety by a Black Lives Matter protester on Saturday.
The viral images show the badly beaten white man clutching his head as a black man carried him over his shoulders in the middle of a crowd.
According the reports by Reuters, there were clashes between anti-racism groups and far-right activists. Anti-racist protesters have been rallying for days against racism and police abuse since the death of African American George Floyd in Minneapolis last month.
