Scuffles At London Anti-Austerity Protest

Seventeen people have been arrested during an anti-austerity protest outside Downing Street against the new government. The Women's War Memorial in Whitehall was defaced with graffiti during the unplanned rally, which started outside Conservative campaign headquarters. The crowd then moved on to Downing Street to voice their anger at David Cameron's party, a day after he claimed victory in the General Election. A police officer and a member of police staff have been injured.
