		</div><p>Mayor Sadiq Khan has condemned a street party in west London as “disgraceful” after seven police officers were injured.</p>
<p>Bricks and other missiles were launched at officers they tried to disperse the illegal rave in White City on Friday night.</p>
<p>This comes after several other parties in the capital were shut down by police in June, including an illegal rave on a Brixton estate where 22 officers were injured.</p>
<p>On Friday, officers clad in protective gear arrived in White City to reports of a disturbance and were met with further hostility and violence.</p>
<p>They cleared the area by around 1.15am and a section 60 order allowing officers to stop and search anyone in the vicinity is now in place.</p>

<p>Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said seven officers had sustained injuries as a result of the clashes.</p>
<p>“Officers have responded to residents complaining about a large gathering, noise, anti-social behaviour and violence,” he said.</p>
<p>“These gatherings are illegal and also pose a risk to public health.</p>
<p>“The violence shown towards officers this evening was totally unacceptable and we will not tolerate it in any form. Officers encountered bricks and other missiles being thrown at them.</p>
<p>“Our robust police response demonstrated that we will police incidents like these firmly and stop those intent on causing harm or disruption to our communities.”</p>
<p>Mr Khan condemned attacks on police at the event as “disgraceful”.</p>
<p>He said: “Violence against the police will not be tolerated and perpetrators will be caught and prosecuted.</p>
<p>“Extra police will be out today continuing to work hard to keep our city safe.”</p>
<p>The incident comes after mass street parties in Brixton, Notting Hill and Streatham last week.</p>
<p>Following the most serious incident in Brixton on June 24, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said the number of police injuries is”heading up to 140-odd officers” over the three weeks prior, including those hurt during protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd in the US.</p>
<p>The commissioner vowed to shut down the “appalling” raves and Home Secretary Priti Patel condemned the Brixton incident as “utterly vile.”</p>
<p>Three people who were arrested for violent disorder against police at the event have appeared in court and are awaiting sentencing or further trials.</p>
