Black Lives Matter protester rescues suspected far-right protester from violent riot
Updated | By Mack Rapapali Nights
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.

"I really feel that if we hadn't intervened when we did, I genuinely think he may have died."
