Riot police fought to keep control as protesters attacked the Royal Bank of Scotland, smashing windows and briefly breaking inside.

But there were only a handful of arrests as demonstrators clashed with police otuside the Bank of England, pelting them with paint and eggs.

The protests began this morning, as a group calling itself G20 Meltdown set out down separate routes, dubbed "the four horsemen of the apocalypse".

"The silver horse against financial crimes" gathered at London Bridge station, a "black horse against land closures and borders" at Cannon Street, "the green horse against climate change" at Liverpool Street and "the red horse against war" started from Moorgate Station.
