Protesters clash with London police over death of 20-year-old black man

LONDON—The family of a young black man who died following a London police chase appealed for peace Saturday, a day after street protests over his death turned violent.

Relatives held a vigil outside an east London police station for 20-year-old Rashan Charles, who died in a hospital last week after he was pursued and apprehended by an officer in the capital’s Hackney area.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating the case and said it will consider whether any misconduct or crimes were involved.
