Hyde Park Riot

Literally the craziest thing i have ever seen happend last night- we were at a house party on hessel mount in hyde park, Leeds with about 2-300 people having a nice time spilling out into the street when 50 odd police turned up and started battering everyone with thier batons and setting the dogs on people. people had chunks missing from their legs, girls were bleeding from the head and people were crying- to quote the youtube video someone captured on their camera phone: "Around 02:30 on the 5th May, shitloads of police started gathering up on Brudenell Road in Hyde Park, Leeds. They'd obviously been called to do something about the house party going on nearby and when the dog patrol showed up, I decided to run outside and film what happened. Not much where I was, some others captured better scenes no doubt but by the end, there were a few smashed windows, a few crying people, a few with serious dog bites and some with respiratory problems so who knows, cs gas? Anyway, the guff I caught on my camera phone, this was the police doing a big gay charge up Brudenell Road."
