A man was charged with theft of a police helmet during the intervention on Saturday Oct 16th 2004 at Alexandra Palace. As people made their way from Alexandra Palace back to Beyond ESF after denoucing Ken Livingstone's participation at the ESF, police attacked the crowd injuring many & arresting one man for stealing a police helmet. This man was later beaten in police custody.
The case was thrown out by the judge as one of the primary police witnesses failed to attend court.
This means of the 7 serious charges brought against people during the ESF in London not one has been found guilty.
