Students lash out at protest crackdown
Demonstrators confront police over violent university eviction

Violance continued into a second evening yesterday at the University of London as police stamped down on protesting students.

On Wednesday evening three students were arrested after police forcibly evicted around 60 protesters trying to occupy the university's Senate House building.

Video footage filmed after police had dragged the students from the building appears to show a male police officer punching a protester in the face.
