LONDON, April 2 (RIA Novosti) - British police arrested 81 protestors on Thursday during the G20 summit in London, one of whom was seriously injured during one of the riots, a security officer told RIA Novosti.

On Wednesday, some 30 protestors were arrested and one person died during the protests in the British capital where the heads of 20 industrial and major developing countries gathered to discuss the global economic crisis. During one of the riots, the Royal Bank of Scotland came under attack and its windows were broken.

Near the ExCel Center, where the summit was held, there are no protests as the area around the center has been sectioned off by a large number of police, including mounted police. Private security companies have also been involved in keeping peace in the area.
