<p>Scotland Yard has launched a major criminal probe to catch tuition fee thugs following criticism of the way the force handled mass protests in London.</p>
<p>The investigation was announced after Prime Minister David Cameron demanded that demonstrators who defaced war memorials and attacked the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall face the &#8220;full force of the law&#8221;.</p>
<p>Police have so far arrested 33 people as a result of the havoc in central London that left dozens of officers and protesters injured.</p>
<p>The Independent Police Complaints Commission is examining one incident where a 20-year-old student needed brain surgery after allegedly being hit with a truncheon.</p>
<p>The public order investigation will cover all fee protests held from November 10, when students stormed Tory headquarters in Millbank, until Thursday&#8217;s demonstration in Parliament Square.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron warned that it was not possible to blame the distressing scenes on a small militant element when so many in the crowd on Thursday were acting in an &#8220;absolutely feral way&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;The scenes people saw on their TV screens were completely unacceptable,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we can go on saying a small minority were there. There were quite a lot of people who were hell bent on violence and destroying property.&#8221;</p>
<p>Charlie Gilmour, son of Pink Floyd frontman David, apologised after being identified as one of those who climbed on the Cenotaph, the nation&#8217;s monument to its war dead, as thousands of youngsters vented their fury over the decision by MPs to treble university fees to a maximum of £9,000 a year.</p>
<p>Among the most shocking episodes was the attack on a Rolls-Royce carrying Charles and Camilla by a gang who smashed a window and threw paint while shouting &#8220;Off with their heads!&#8221;. A Clarence House spokesman refused to confirm reports that the Duchess was poked with a stick through an open window, but stressed that the royal couple did not seek medical help.</p>
<p>Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said an investigation was being held into the security breach and added that armed protection officers showed &#8220;real restraint&#8221; not to open fire as the situation slipped out of control.</p>
