Several police officers have been injured after a protest outside the Iranian embassy in London erupted into violence.
The clashes have resulted in a number of arrests, according to the Metropolitan Police, whose officers had missiles thrown at them.
Paramedics confirmed four people had been taken to hospital after the London Ambulance Service was called to the unrest in South Kensington at 8.45pm.
The Met said several of its officers had suffered injuries, with footage on social media appearing to show protesters were also hurt in the demonstrations on Friday.
It comes after weeks of protests in Iran ended in violent repression at the hands of the ruling regime. Initially motivated by the country's ailing economy, the demonstrations grew to challenge the ruling regime itself.
