Police are tracing five people after an Eritrean protest turned violent in Camberwell.
More than 100 people attacked the Lighthouse Theatre, some armed with sticks and missiles, on December 30, 2023.
Police attended the demonstration on Camberwell Road and several were struck by missiles.
Four officers sustained injuries including concussions and some needed hospital treatment.
A detective described the “violence used against officers” as “some of the worst I have ever seen”.
The Met has made 44 arrests relating to the protest and wants to identify five others.
Detectives believe the individuals, pictured, may have information that will assist the investigation.
Detective Superintendent Sian Thomas, who is leading the investigation, said: “The level of violence used against officers, who were there to keep the public safe and protect people in a theatre, is some of the worst I have seen.
“We have so far arrested 44 people for a number of offences relating to this demonstration and continue to make progress, however, there are still outstanding a number of suspects that we need the public’s help to identify.”
Those who recognise any of these people are asked to email police or call 020 8246 9386 to talk with a detective. People should quote the image reference number of the person they are identifying.
