Two patrol cars have been set on fire after members of a community where a young man was shot dead by police took to the streets to demand "justice".
Dozens of protesters have gathered outside the police station on the High Road in Tottenham, north London.
It comes after a 29-year-old father-of-four, named locally as Mark Duggan, was shot dead by police on Thursday.
The Metropolitan Police said missiles were thrown at the cars, both were set alight and riot officers deployed.
A spokesman said: "Two police officers were parked in two separate police cars on Foster Road in Tottenham, north London while on traffic patrol."
Scotland Yard said bottles were thrown at the cars, both were set alight and one was pushed into the middle of the High Road.
Neither of the officers were hurt and they had not been in the vehicles at the time.
Maria Robinson, who lives in Tottenham, said: "It's absolutely manic down here."
She said people were throwing bottles, "making bottle bombs", setting fires and shops had been broken into.
