Party and Police – level 2

01-07-2020 07:00

On Wednesday night, there was a street party in Brixton, South London. The party was not legal; however, it was very calm. People had a barbecue, and they played music.

After some time, residents called the police, and they complained about the noise. Police officers tried to stop the party, and they asked people to leave. Many people left when the music stopped; however, some people became violent.

The officers were not able to control the crowd. People attacked the officers, and they injured twenty-two of them. They also damaged the officers’ cars.

Four people ended up in hospital, and the officers arrested four people.

Difficult words: legal (when officials allow something), resident (the person who lives in an area), arrest (when the police put someone in prison).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
