Up to 10 police officers were injured after scuffles broke out when 2,000 people descended on London's Brick Lane for a sale by a US clothing chain.
The Met Police said it was called to the American Apparel event, the first day of a planned four-day sale, because of the unexpected turnout.
The firm stopped the event, blaming the "dangerous behaviour" of people in the line.
A police spokesman said three people were arrested on public order offences.

Such a riot for some expensive clothing instead of for basic needs like food or water or a roof over the head...?
=-O Baffling!!!
I call that degenerated.
I call it multicultural Britain!
American Apparel sucks... I live 5 mins from one, there is never anybody inside.
DFanatic, I'm with you. I wanted to like their stuff... it being sweatshop-free, etc., and they do have some nice basics (t-shirts and undies), but mostly what they seem to offeris poor-quality, badly-merchandised, overpriced crap for hipsters who think it's cool to dress ironically.
