A man has been filmed punching a woman to the ground as violence erupted on the final day of Notting Hill Carnival on Monday.
The footage appears to show the woman getting caught up in a street brawl before the man waves his finger at her.
She then hits him before he retaliates by punching him in the face.
The woman was helped to her feet while the man was dragged away by other revelers on the final day of the event.
It is not clear if she suffered any injuries or if any charges will be filed.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police told Metro.co.uk that the force was aware of the video circulating on social media.
“It does not appear that it was reported to officers at the time or that we have received a report since,” they added.
The video emerged on Twitter as a former Scotland Yard commander warned how, although the carnival tends to be ‘safe for most people’, it usually ‘degenerates’ into gang violence on the final day.
Bristol rapper Takayo Nembhard was stabbed to death at the event on Monday after traveling to the capital to ‘have a good time’.
An investigation has already been launched into the murder of the 21-year-old, known as TKorStretch.
Police found the rapper under the Westway flyover in Ladbroke Grove at around 8pm last night.
More than 200 arrests were made during the carnival, with a number of violent incidents and serious stabbings prompting the Met to activate a Section 60 warrant – giving officers the power to stop and search people without reasonable grounds – within the borders of events until 1 am.
The total of 209 arrests included 46 for assault, 36 for drug possession, 33 for possession of offensive weapons, 27 public order offenses and eight sexual assaults.
Thirty-five others were tagged, while 10 people were arrested on suspicion of possession of psychoactive substances, seven for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, five for criminal damage and one for theft and robbery.
Millions of people descended on the capital for the world-famous event after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid pandemic.
A police horse also died in the line of duty after falling on the final night.
Meanwhile, footage showed a bus shelter giving way under the weight of dancing revelers who climbed onto the roof, leaving two people needing medical treatment.
Last night crews launched a major clean-up to clean up the huge piles of trash left after the three-day festivities.
Around 200 street cleaners and 30 bin lorries were tasked with removing rubbish, including transport boxes and damaged Transport for London bikes.
