Police Prepared for Champions League Final and Protests

The Metropolitan Police will deploy over 2,000 officers across London for the upcoming weekend's events, including the Champions League Final and several protests. Officers from outside London will assist. Significant police presence will be around Wembley, fan zones, and protest areas. Specific conditions have been imposed on protests to prevent disruption. The police aim to ensure public safety and minimize disorder.

London Paramedic Honoured for Bravery at Sudbury Hill Station

Paramedic Dean Hawkins from the London Ambulance Service received a police commendation for his bravery. He jumped onto Tube tracks at Sudbury Hill to help restrain a violent passenger armed with a weapon. His quick action, alongside an off-duty officer and a Tube worker, helped ensure safety until more officers arrived. Dean was honoured with a Chief Constable’s Commendation by the British Transport Police.
