Thousands marched on Warwick University yesterday in protest against “disproportionate and unprovoked” police violence at the previous day’s free education sit-in. 

Students and lecturers — as well as outside supporters — came to show their indignation at the police presence on campus which ended with teenagers being Tasered, teargassed, assaulted and arrested.

One of those hit by CS gas during Wednesday’s protest Craig McVey said: “It just came out of nowhere.”
