More than £15,000 in fines has been handed out after police shut down an illegal rave attended by more than 300 people in east London.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police attended a venue under a railway arch on Nursery Road in Hackney in the early hours of this morning.
Loud music was heard coming from inside the venue and a significant number of people were found packed inside the small space.
Dozens of ravers attempted to flee following the arrival of the police, scaling fences at the rear of the arch while others forced open a gate to get away from officers.
