Harian Padang.com-A 23-year-old man suspected of throwing a fire extinguisher at police from a roof during this week's student fees protest has been released on bail., Scotland Yard said.
The student at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, was arrested on Friday after police officers scoured footage of Wednesday's riot, which saw protesters storm Millbank Tower, which houses the Conservative Party headquarters.
The man, originally from Reading, Berkshire, was held on suspicion of violent disorder and questioned at Parkside police station in Cambridge before his release last night.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "He has been bailed to return to a London police station pending further inquiries."
Violence broke out during a protest against government plans to triple university tuition fees as part of a programme of deep spending cuts designed to pay-off Britain's record budget deficit.
Tens of thousands of students were peacefully demonstrating before things turned ugly. Rioters besieged the Conservative headquarters, smashing through the front windows, trashing the lobby and attacking the police.
Top Police Federation representatives have called for the person who flung the extinguisher to be charged with attempted murder after it narrowly missed riot squad officers. It did not cause any injuries.
Police, politicians and student leaders are still raking over the fall-out from the violence, which caught them by surprise and left 41 police officers hurt, seven of them requiring hospital treatment.
A total of 56 people have been arrested, 35 of them men and most of them students. Ten are aged under 18, one is in his early 30s and the remaining 45 are aged between 18 and 26.
The fire extinguisher incident was one of the defining moments in the four-hour stand-off, the first violent protests since the budget cuts were unveiled last month.
Repairing the destruction caused as demonstrators ran amok could cost tens of thousands of pounds (dollars, euros)
