The Metropolitan Police has released images of a police horse injured during the Million Mask March.

The horse, named PH Embassy, was injured after protesters set off fireworks aimed at the police horses being used to help control the march. The rider was reportedly taken to hospital with a broken wrist.

The protest, on Bonfire Night, saw thousands of riot police and mounted officers deployed to Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square in central London in order to control the crowds.

Several protesters who joined the march were treated for minor injuries and at least 50 arrests were made, mostly for “public order offences”.

Three police officers were hospitalised after they clashed with anti-capitalist protesters.

The Million Mask March is a worldwide protest, organised by the Anonymous hackers group. Protestors don "Guido" masks from V for Vendetta, to recreate the final scene from the film.
