The Metropolitan Police has released a detailed breakdown of the 43 arrests made during two major protests in London on Saturday - including 11 hate-crime related offences.
The force confirmed that 20 of those arrested were associated with the Tommy Robinson-backed Unite the Kingdom march, while 12 were linked with the pro-Palestine Nakba Day march. 11 further arrests were not affiliated to either group.
Eleven of the arrests were related to hate crime offences - including offences allegedly motivated by race, religion, sexuality and disability - with nine coming at Unite the Kingdom and two at the Nakba march.
Seven further alleged hate crime offences at the pro-Palestine event remain under investigation.
Around 60,000 demonstrators attended the Unite the Kingdom march, with attendees calling for a clampdown on migration.
Meanwhile, approximately 20,000 attended the pro-Palestine march, commemorating the 78th anniversary of Nakba, when around 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes.
The policing operation cost £4.5 million in total, with 4,000 officers on duty.
The Met said that three of the arrests were a result of its live facial recognition technology, all for people wanted for failing to appear in court.
