Occupy protesters scuffle with police
There have been scuffles between police and protesters as members of the Occupy movement returned to Parliament Square tonight.
Demonstrators gathered in Wesminster, unveiling a banner reading "real democracy now" and forming a blockade on the road in Parliament Square.
Police had warned protesters that they were banned from setting up camp in the square. Dozens of officers were stationed in front of fencing placed around Parliament Square which prevented people from accessing the site.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said it attempted to make contact with organisers but the group had "failed to engage" with the police force.
There were a series of clashes with police on Parliament Square last month as supporters of the Occupy movement stood their ground for nine days.
