Greater Manchester Police confirmed two arrests were made during a demonstration in Manchester city centre involving Britain First supporters and counter-protesters. Both arrests involved counter-protesters in separate incidents during the confrontation.

Meanwhile, in an unrelated incident in central London, police arrested a suspect on attempted murder charges after a car struck pedestrians in the early hours. The incident left a woman in critical condition.

The Manchester demonstration saw tensions between far-right Britain First followers and opposing groups, though police have not released details about the specific charges or circumstances surrounding the two arrests made.

Authorities have not disclosed the location or time of the London incident, but confirmed it occurred during the early morning hours in central London. The condition of any other potential victims has not been reported.

Both incidents remain under investigation by their respective police forces.
