Three protesters arrested during yesterday's May Day anti-war march in Brighton have been released on bail.
One man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, a second on suspicion of obstructing police and another on suspicion of criminal damage.
A Sussex Police spokeswoman confirmed all three had been released on police bail pending further inquires.
Speaking after the protests yesterday Chief Supt Graham Bartlett, Brighton and Hove City Commander, said: “We will continue to investigate the other offences that have occurred and where possible bring those responsible to justice.
"Once again I urge those who wish to hold demonstrations in the city to abide by the law and notify the police of their intentions in advance so that jointly we can plan a safe but visible event which respects their right to protest and others rights to go about their business free from intimidation and violence.”
Chloe Marsh, from group Smash EDO which organised the march, said at least 30 protesters had reported injuries sustained during the day.
