Clash in Boswell Street
A small remnant of the IMG contingent went up Boswell Street in an attempt to disperse. They were followed and trapped by police who detained the group while they were attempting to arrest Brian Heron, one of the IMG leaders. They eventually succeeded but he escaped from them a few minutes later.
This incident was overlooked in most of the media coverage but was reported in the following week's edition of Time Out.
