Protester on wrong side of brutal police officer’s fist during demo

A student was rushed to hospital after being punched by a police officer during Wednesday’s free education demo, organisers said yesterday.

An eyewitness told the Star that an unidentified male student “got the full force of a police officer’s punch to his face” before being arrested during clashes in London.

Friends took the man straight to A&E to be treated for concussion when he was released without charge from Belgravia police station.
