Six Held After Mass Water Fight In London

Six people were arrested, another was taken to hospital and one of London’s busiest shopping areas was closed after a mass water fight got out of hand.

Officers believe around 1,500 revellers took part in the event, which is thought to have been organised through social networking websites.

Police told Sky News Online that one man was detained on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. He is still being questioned.

The other five people have now been released on bail. They were held over various offences including affray, possession of an offensive weapon, two Section 5 public order offences and theft.

One person was treated in hospital after receiving facial injuries. The reveller is thought to have now left hospital.

The fight began at 1pm on Friday and high temperatures throughout the afternoon swelled numbers.
