Photos: London Brawling: The G-20 Protests

Bank BrawlProtesters advancing down Threadneedle Street meet police lines during G-20 demonstrations outside the Bank of England on April 1, 2009 in London, England. Protesters launched missiles and forced their way into the bank after clashes with police in the capital.

Powerful ProtestThe trouble broke out as PM Gordon Brown and President Barack Obama announced that the G-20 leaders were "within a few hours" of agreeing a global deal for economic recovery. The demonstrations began in peaceful fashion but resulted in some bloody skirmishes.

FlashpointPolice estimated there were up to 4,000 demonstrators in the City of London and cordoned off a number of streets. They tried to keep thousands of protesters in containment pens on Threadneedle Street: Scotland Yard said moving them into the area was a legitimate tactic as missiles were being thrown at officers
