		</div><p>Eight police officers have been injured as anti-lockdown protests in central London turned violent.</p>
<p>Demonstrators hurled bottles as officers attempted to disperse the crowds in Hyde Park on Saturday evening, the city&#8217;s police force said.</p>
<p>Photographs posted on social media show a female police officer bleeding from a cut to her head, while another suffered a similar wound on his forehead.</p>
<p>Two officers were taken to hospital, although their injuries are not believed to be serious, police said.</p>
<p>The protests, which also took place on Oxford Street, London&#8217;s central shopping area, come almost two weeks after Covid-19 lockdown restrictions were eased.</p>
<p>Five people were arrested for offences including assault on police and remain in custody, police said.</p>

<p>John Apter, national chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, tweeted: “These officers are just doing a job, they’re somebody’s son, daughter they’re mums and dads.</p>
<p>“To be targeted in the way they are says a lot about the society we’ve become.</p>
<p>“I will continue to do my best to support them but I need Government to do more, much more.”</p>
<p>Demonstrators held banners with messages such as “Covid-19 Vaccine Holocaust”, and “No To Vaccine Passports.”</p>
<p>Another banner read: “You don’t need proof to know truth.”</p>
<p>Shoppers flocked to high streets and drinkers downed pints as coronavirus restrictions were lifted in England on April 12th.</p>
<p>British prime minister Boris Johnson urged the nation to “behave responsibly” as indoor gyms, swimming pools, nail salons and zoos welcomed customers back.</p>
<p>A UK government review into “Covid status certification” said they could “potentially play a role” in settings such as theatres, nightclubs and mass events, and might also be used in pubs and restaurants to reduce social distancing restrictions.</p>
<p>The documents would record – either on a health service app or a paper certificate – whether someone has had a vaccine, a recent negative coronavirus test or natural immunity, having recovered from Covid-19.</p>
