LONDON - Police battled to restore order on Sunday as rioting broke out in northern London after a local man was shot dead by police.

Twenty-six police officers were injured on Saturday night, and 42 people were arrested for offenses including torching vehicles and buildings amid widespread looting.

"The rioting in Tottenham last night was utterly unacceptable," a Downing Street spokesman said in a statement.
