<p>Protesters have attacked a police van as crowds swelled during angry demonstrations against rising university tuition fees.</p>
<p>A group of young men leapt on to the roof, smashed the windscreen, daubed it with a slogan and hurled sticks at the vehicle which was parked in the middle of Whitehall, central London.</p>
<p>The mob surrounded the Metropolitan Police van close to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, where they pulled off wing mirrors and daubed it with graffiti.</p>
<p>A handful of young women could be seen attempting to stop further damage as a man urinated on one front wheel.</p>
<p>Witnesses said a smoke bomb was thrown inside the van as protesters, some covering their faces with scarves, hit the windows with wooden sticks.</p>
<p>Several fireworks were let off nearby, greeted by cheers and whistles, as a light was smashed on the back of the vehicle.</p>
<p>The van was abandoned a short distance from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) where Met boss Sir Paul Stephenson has been giving a speech on terrorism.</p>
<p>In other areas of Whitehall there was a party atmosphere, with students jumping up and down to dance music as helicopters hovered overhead.</p>
<p>The protest has been dubbed Day X, with parents, teachers and trade unionists invited to join students.</p>
<p>Many of the rallies have been organised by the Education Activist Network and the campaign group Youth Fight For Jobs.</p>
