Did rock-throwing teenage girl's 'beating' by police spark London riots? Pictures that show how Tottenham turned into a war zone

Witnesses said that a peaceful vigil for Mark Duggan (pictured, left), who was shot dead by police on Thursday, turned ugly after a 16-year-old was 'attacked' by a number of officers. Mr Duggan's family today appealed for calm after a night in which vehicles were burnt to ashes and many buildings wrecked. Early tonight, though, neighbouring Enfield was the scene of a small scale outbreak of violence erupted in what appears to be copycat rioting.
