FOUR PEOPLE have been charged after an unlicensed music event in Brixton turned violent.

Dozens attended the street party, which took place on Wednesday, June 24. But several groups became violent when police began to break up the event.

Wise Gambou, 19, is the latest to be charged in connection with an incident at the street party, police have said.

Gambou has been charged with violent disorder.

Donte Knight, 20, and a 16-year-old boy from Brixton, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have both been charged with violent disorder.

All three were ordered to appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court today.

Natasha Agyekum, 24, has been charged with assault on an emergency services worker and will appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, 20 August.

A further four males have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder as part of detectives’ investigation.

Three of the four, aged 18, aged 22 and aged 28, have been bailed pending further enquiries.

Police were called to Overton Road in Lambeth last Wednesday evening following multiple reports of a large unlicensed music event in the street.

The Metropolitan police said officers attended the scene of the street party to encourage the crowd to disperse but they “did not engage with police”.

More officers attended the location to shut down the event, but a group became hostile towards officers, police said.

Videos which have been widely circulated on social media show bottles being thrown at police and police vehicles being vandalised.

In total, 27 officers were injured. Out of the 27, two were treated at hospital but none were seriously wounded.

A small number of police vehicles were damaged.

Police implemented a dispersal zone and a Section 60, which allows officers to stop and search anyone in a specific location for up to 24 hours.

Enquiries into the unlicensed event are ongoing.
