LONDON: UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman has called for those who took part in a suspected TikTok-inspired raid of shops in London's Oxford Street to be "hunted down" and jailed.
Footage showed police wielding batons in a clash with dozens of young men and wrestling some of them away, while officers on horseback helped to disperse hundreds of people in Europe's busiest shopping street on Wednesday (Aug 9).
