Seven individuals have been formally charged with serious bodily harm following an alleged assault on two persons outside the Iranian embassy during a demonstration.

According to the Metropolitan Police, officers arrived at Princes Gate in Knightsbridge, west London, shortly after 09:50 BST on Friday after receiving reports of a confrontation.

The police intervened, and additional units were summoned to the scene.

Two men, aged 37 and 39, were transported to the hospital due to significant injuries that are serious but not life-threatening, as stated by a representative from the Met.

Eight individuals were detained in relation to the incident, including the 39-year-old who required hospitalization.

On Saturday, seven of those apprehended were charged with grievous bodily harm and were remanded in custody, pending their appearance at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

The charged individuals hail from various locations, including London, Liverpool, and Birmingham.

The eighth detainee remains hospitalized and has been released on bail.

Measures have been implemented to prevent significant unrest at the embassy, restricting protesters from assembling in the area until 13:00 BST on Sunday.
