Journalists and photographers came under attack on Monday as London faced its third consecutive day of violent riots in the capital.

Mark Stone, the Sky News reporter, was lauded for his bravery on Monday night after he left his home near Clapham Junction to record looting on his iPhone.

Stone, who recently returned from reporting the conflict in Libya, memorably accosted looters and asked: “Are you proud of what you’re doing?” One young woman responded that she was “just getting my taxes back”.

Shortly afterwards he was chased by rioters and forced to flee, but returned to report live to camera on the aftermath of the Clapham Junction disturbance after Sky News dispatched a satellite truck, entering a looted Boots store and fetching an empty packet of Imodium from the litter-strewn floor.
