London: The Metropolitan Police say a man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of two police officers during riots in London on August 8.

Police said today that both officers were hospitalised and are now recovering at their homes. One suffered knee and leg injuries and one had shoulder injuries. Police said a 28-year-old man is in custody after being arrested today. Another suspect was arrested earlier and set free on bail as investigations continue.
