Summary
Protesters marched across the city from the police station to the St Denys area, near where Henry Nowak was murdered in December. During the protest, chairs, cans and flares were thrown at officers in riot gear, forcing them to retreat. The protest relates to the case of Henry Nowak, who was stabbed by Digwa with a large blade. Body cam footage released this week showed Henry repeatedly telling officers he had been stabbed as he lay dying in handcuffs, after Digwa falsely claimed he was the victim of a racist attack, leading police to arrest Henry instead of his killer.
