The Met Police has sent in extra officers as Eritrean protesters attacked riot vans with sticks outside a theatre in South London.
Camberwell Road in Camberwell has been blocked near Burgess Park this afternoon as a crowd of around 50 people moves around The Lighthouse theatre.
The protest is related to tensions among the Eritrean community, the Met Police confirmed.
One person on X said he heard the Eritrean embassy was in the middle of a meeting when the protesters showed up at the scene.
'People I've talked to say that the Eritrean embassy was holding a meeting and the protesters turned up and there was a confrontation between the two groups,' he said.
'Now they are kettling protesters while the Eritrean government staff are still inside the building I think.'
