Very worrying but it appears to be the result of a "private" altercation between two groups of men? Thought initially it might have been some extreme Brexiteers objecting to people travelling to today's march but fortunately not. Probably explains why there was a fire engine outside Green Park tube station as the march went past.

Why would it be Brexiteers and not Remainers?

Martine Guy ● 2671d

Obviously because remainers would not have been objecting to the march.

Caroline Whitehead ● 2671d

No obviously to it.  It might have been Remainers protesting.

It's on the News, if you type in Tear Gas Oxford Circus. (Google it).

Thank you for this information.The question must then be how on earth did they manage to get hold of CS gas?

Ivonne Holliday ● 2671d

Amazon I imagine. Not exactly hard.

Sorry for sounding so naïve, but you can get tear gas on Amazon???That is certainly outrageous!
