Police released CCTV footage of a man throwing a petrol bomb during the tuition fee protests

Police hunting those responsible for violence and criminal damage during student protests have released images of a man throwing a petrol bomb.

The hooded figure can be seen running across Parliament Square and throwing a flaming bottle across a crowd of protesters.

The video was recorded by a member of public during one of the most violent days of demonstrations on December 9.

Investigators have also obtained images of a second suspect attacking cars in a royal convoy in Regent Street on the same day.

He was also caught on camera kicking in the windows of a branch of Topshop in Oxford Circus and throwing a metal fence at police officers.

A further 10 still images have been released of people suspected of violence and other offences on November 24.

Senior officers at the Met have formed a specialist unit, dubbed Operation Malone, to bring those who broke the law to justice.

They have arrested more than 200 suspects, the majority in their late teens and early twenties, since the first protest on November 10.
