BNP supporter attacks coach full of protesters
A coach full of anti-Nazi protesters travelling from south London to Derbyshire was attacked by a BNP supporter.
A coach full of anti-Nazi protesters travelling from south London to Derbyshire was attacked by a BNP supporter. The attacker threw a large rock at the coach, shattering a window, before running off.
The coach was carrying around 50 protesters to demonstrate at the BNP's "Red, White & Blue" rally. It had just left Lambeth town hall at 6.30am when the attack took place.
Sarah from South London UAF said: "We are in shock though relieved that nobody has been seriously injured. The rock was slightly larger than a cricket ball and was thrown with enough force to break two panes of glass. If it had hit someone it would have hurt them very badly.
"People are angry that this attack didn't just damage the coach, it was intended to cause harm to people. This attack should make people realise that the BNP is organised and violent. That's why it's so important for people to protest against them in Codnor today – but also to be vigilant against their Nazi thugs."
