Petrol bombs have been thrown at police and three patrol cars, a bus and buildings have been set on fire in a disturbance in Tottenham, north London.
The incident began after a protest over the fatal shooting of a young man by police on Thursday turned violent.
About 300 people have gathered outside the police station on the High Road.
Members of the community had taken to the streets to demand "justice" after the shooting of 29-year-old father-of-four Mark Duggan.
Two patrol cars were set alight at about 20:20 BST but officers were not inside at the time.
Shops in the area have also been looted with people seen pushing away shopping trolleys full of goods.
A double decker bus was set on fire at the junction of High Road and Brook Street while a shop on the High Road has also been set alight.
Fire crews were initially unable to reach the shop due to the disorder but later began tackling the flames.
A BBC TV news crew and satellite truck also came under attack from youths throwing missiles.
The youths had begun attacking another police patrol car before the TV crew were targeted and they were withdrawn in the interests of their own safety.
The police car was later set alight. [SN]
