Thousands of protesters swarmed into London's financial district today as world leaders gathered for the G-20 meeting, storming a bank, breaking windows and pelting officers with eggs and fruit. Demonstrators briefly invaded the Royal Bank of Scotland, one of Britain's bailed-out banks, where they smashed windows and spray-painted "thieves" on the walls before being pushed away by cops.
After the building was cleared, riot police on horseback arrived to make sure protesters didn't invade the bank a second time.
The building was empty of staff today, "The safety of our staff and customers is of paramount importance and as such, we have taken the precautionary step of closing selected London branches." A RBS spokesman told ABC News.
