A counter-protester has been arrested at a pro-Palestinian march through central London today after displaying a placard reading 'Hamas is terrorist'.
Iranian Niyak Ghorbani, 37, waved the sign in the middle of the rally, which saw thousands of demonstrators gather in the capital before protesters turned on him leading to a large brawl.
Demonstrators carrying Palestine flags charged towards Mr Ghorbani and attacked him before police stepped in to arrest the counter-protester.
Mr Ghorbani was then hauled away from the scene as pro-Palestinian marchers continued to hurl abuse at him, shouting 'shame on you'.
Five further arrests were made at the march, including a man accused of carrying a shield and wearing a helmet, a woman said to be holding an offensive placard, two men alleged to be chanting offensive slogans and one man for assault.
