Notting Hill Carnival marred by violence

More than 300 people have been arrested after London's famous Notting Hill Carnival was marred by violence.

The arrests were made throughout the two-day event, which ended on Monday night (Tuesday morning AEST) with riot police battling a group of about 40 youths throwing bricks and bottles on the streets of nearby Ladbroke Grove.

Knives, a Taser stun gun, CS spray and a baseball bat were also seized by police on patrol during the carnival, which aims to celebrate Caribbean culture with colourful street parades.
