Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Superintendent Marcus Barnett said four people – including two men, aged 20 and 38 – had now been arrested over an assault of two police officers in east London.
He said: “Two of my officers were horrifically attacked having tried to undertake a very lawful and necessary arrest on the streets.
“Fortunately both the officers are well, cuts and bruises and obviously shocked, as are all their colleagues and I.”
