Violence broke out on London's Edgware Road after Morocco's 2-0 defeat to France in the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, as groups of supporters clashed with Metropolitan Police. Officers in riot gear were deployed after bottles and other objects were thrown, leaving at least one police officer injured and several people arrested. Authorities worked to disperse large crowds and restore order in the busy area, known for its large North African community. The unrest contrasted with largely peaceful celebrations in Paris following France's victory. Police have launched investigations into the incidents and urged witnesses to provide information.
