Witnesses near the record label’s offices in Derry Street, Kensington, reported workers running away from the building, which is opposite Northcliffe House, the home of the Daily Mail, Independent, Metro, and other media organisations. | |
“Everybody starting pouring out and running towards the square around the back,” said Simon Neville, a journalist who was outside Sony’s offices when the incident took place. | |
“Then I saw a young, white man with a red jacket being tackled by the security guards by the loading bay on Derry Street. He was shouting at them to get off. Once he was tackled they started bringing the shutters down. He has now been led away by the police.” | “Then I saw a young, white man with a red jacket being tackled by the security guards by the loading bay on Derry Street.
