One eye-witness said: “Police brought out the dogs to clear Marble Arch and Oxford Street after the 420 ended at Hyde Park. Looks like carnage.”
Another added: “420 gangs causing riots on London’s Oxford Street.”
Superintendent Dan Ivey of The Metropolitan Police said: “I’m part of command team (still here).
“So to be clear, this was a proportionate response to a large crowd leaving the park, some involved in assaults, with a machete seen, one knife recovered, along with a knuckle duster.
“All is now calm. Ten arrests made.”
Met Police officers were present at today’s event in Hyde Park, but asked people to deposit any cannabis found by sniffer dogs in amnesty bins.
One man was seen being arrested earlier today, but officers claimed he was asked to throw away his cannabis in an amnesty bin and reacted angrily.
