Two police officers were attacked by a mob in south London when they asked a 15-year-old girl to pick up some litter she dropped.
Metropolitan Police said one of the officers suffered injuries including a bite wound in the attack in Northend in Croydon, on Wednesday afternoon.
Up to 30 people attacked the officers when the girl refused to pick up the litter and became aggressive.
A girl who was arrested on suspicion of assault has been released on bail.
Two men, aged 34 and 38 and both from South Norwood, were held on Thursday morning on suspicion of assault and violent disorder.


Police said the girl initially picked up the litter when asked by the patrolling officers, but immediately dropped it again sparking a confrontation leading to the attack.
The officers, aged 34 and 29, who suffered bruising and knee injuries, were currently on sick leave, police said.
And the 34-year-old officer who received the bite wound required hospital treatment.
Officers have been examining CCTV footage from the area.
Insp Simon Ellingham said: "We have heard from several retailers in the area who were horrified at the level of violence used by the crowd against the officers."

It is amazing how awful people can be, I do get disillusioned but we have just had a few days in Centreparcs in the lakes and I did not see one example of Chavvish behavior all week, nobody looked chavvy (not that badly), nobody was swearing, nobody bladdered, nobody littering, ok its artificial but it did renew my faith in the public to some extent.

The worst behavior was by me getting all arsey about my crap paintball gun jamming, it got launched into the bushes....

I suspect we will see a lot more of this sort of thing. People are being pushed over the edge by NuLabor policies and feel increasingly angry at the agents of the State.
