Metropolitan Police announced Thursday that they had arrested four people and issued arrest warrants for 14 others in connection to attacks by Turkish security personnel on U.S. protesters last month near the Turkish ambassador’s residence.
The warrants are for 12 men and one woman who were part of President Tayyip Recep Erdogan’s security detail. Police also issued warrants for two Canadian nationals.
