I walked through the centre of Walthamstow about 20 minutes before this happened, and later, my other half did the same about 20 minutes after it had happened. The first we knew about it was when my sister-in-law in Leeds tweeted to ask if we were OK.
Basically, it was a common or garden school fight that got a bit out of hand, and was made to look more dramatic by the sheer number of social-media rubberneckers looking to film it.
The Evening Standard reported it as a "massive riot".

Then as evidenced by the thread title, they need me to sub-edit their headlines.
