POLICE came under attack from youths towards the end of Eid Mubarak celebrations in Southall on Tuesday night.

A small section of revellers, who were warned about their anti-social behaviour, including climbing on bus shelters, pelted officers with missiles, including bottles.

“Fortunately, neither members of the public nor the officers were injured,” said Chief Supt Sean Wilson, in charge of policing in Ealing.

“One person, a 15-year-old boy, who does not live locally, was arrested for a public order offence.”

Chief Supt Wilson spoke to reassure residents and businesses following the trouble, which began shortly before midnight.

He added: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable and we will be reviewing what happened to establish what action can now be taken.

“We will continue to liaise with the organisers, to thank them for their support, as well as speaking with the community to discuss events.”
