UK Covid-19: Police in Soho confront people as England lockdown eases and pubs reopen

Police tried to enforce social distancing in nightlife hub Soho in London - where post-Covid-19 lockdown scenes of chaos emerged last year as hoardes of lockdown-weary partygoers took to the streets when restrictions eased. One man looked to have been detained by three masked officers who held his arms behind his back as he was pushed against a railing last night. The man was later seen being led away. Police officers had earlier been seen patrolling popular Soho area around Old Compton Street and neighbouring areas, after revellers had flocked there to enjoy al-fresco dining and drinks. Several of London's West End streets were closed to traffic between 5pm-11pm to create outdoor seating areas as part of measures implemented by Westminster City Council to support hospitality businesses. Pictures and videos being shared online show people packed onto tables laden with food and drinks, while several dozen more stood on the streets cheering the first night of pubs and bars reopening. Attila Kulcsar, a media communications manager, said the crowds felt 'like a return to the 'real' Soho of the 1990s'. 'Tonight's atmosphere beats the whole of last summer... it really is like how I imagine VE Day,' the 54-year-old said. 'It's almost like watching Hogarth paintings come to life in 2021. There is a wonderfully raucous hysteria everywhere. It's very celebratory. Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic... Original Video: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news...
