Police officers removed a man from a property in Kirkcaldy after an angry mob gathered outside in protest against an alleged paedophile. Officers armed with riot shields were called to Links Street at around 7.55pm on Monday, 17 October, amid reports that a large crowd had gathered.
Footage from the scene shows furious crowds chanting "beast" and "get him out" as a female police officer stands guard at the entrance to a block of flats. A police van can be seen backing closer to the entrance as the baying mob continue to shout and jeer.
Six police officers stood outside the block of flats to manage the crowd as four officers entered. Two male officers, armed with riot shields then led a hooded man from the property and past the crowd into the awaiting van.
