"Police arrested 17 people overnight after protest drinking parties at London mayor Boris Johnson's alcohol ban on the London Underground network, descended into chaos.
Four train drivers and three other London Underground staff were assaulted, the tyres of a police vehicle were slashed and two officers assaulted and another injured.
Four train drivers and three other London Underground staff were assaulted, the tyres of a police vehicle were slashed and two officers assaulted and another injured.
Witnesses said the stench of alcohol on the network was overpowering and that people were "being sick all over the place".
The parties, attended by an estimated 2,000 people, began as light-hearted demonstrations against the new Conservative London mayor's alcohol ban. Revellers, many in fancy dress, chanted anti-Johnson slogans. As the midnight ban drew nearer some began fighting and others vomited."
