 Suella Braverman has told police to 'hunt down' those responsible for the disorder in London's Oxford Street yesterday. Officers wielded batons in clashes with dozens of young men, wrestling some of them to the floor, while police on horseback dispersed hundreds of onlookers on Europe's busiest shopping street. West End stores closed their shutters and locked customers inside in fear of a looting raid, allegedly encouraged by a TikTok invite to join the 'Oxford Street JD robbery'. Nine people were arrested and 34 dispersal orders were issued during the chaotic scenes. This included notorious prankster Mizzy, who insisted he had 'nothing to do' with the disorder. Sharing a video of the police clashes, the home secretary responded: 'We cannot allow the kind of lawlessness seen in some American cities to come to the streets of the UK.
