No injuries were reported during the protests, though one person was detained by police, according to media.
Protesters and counter-protesters clashed outside the Tate Britain museum in London on Saturday over the Drag Queen Story Hour event.
Local media outlets suggested that protests were led by a nationalist organization with people carrying placards featuring slogans like "No drag for kids!" and "Leave our kids alone!"
The counter-protesters were reportedly led by the Stand Up To Racism campaign and were brandishing signs reading "Don't let the far right divide us" and "Trans rights now."
No injuries were reported during the clash, although one person was apprehended by police “on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence regarding comments made to a police officer,” one UK media outlet reported, citing the Met.
