PRITI Patel has slammed the "sickening" video of cops being battered in the street - as people watched and laughed.
The two police officers were filmed being taunted by a group in Hackney, London, as one grappled with a man on the ground.
The footage has since been widely condemned by the Home Secretary along with Sadiq Khan and police authorities.
In the clip, filmed by a passerby, the officer appearing to restrain the man falls to the pavement with him.
The man puts a hand over the policeman's mouth, as the rest of the group is filmed running over yelling and starting to kick the cop.
Another officer appears and screams "get back" as she attempts to push them away.
One person joins the group carrying a baseball bat, before taking a selfie as the cop continues to roll on the floor with one of the men.
The officer hits the man on the pavement with a baton, as she is jostled by the rest of the group.
Eventually she pulls out what appears to be pepper spray and uses it on the men as they shout "my eyes".
Witnesses said at least ten officers arrived on the scene for back up.
Two men – aged 20 and 38 – were arrested on suspicion of assault on police. They are in custody at an east London police station.
Home Secretary Priti Patel spoke out to slam the attack, saying it was "disgusting".
She tweeted : "Sickening, shocking & disgraceful. My thoughts are with the outstanding Met Police UK officers who were subject to this disgusting violent attack."
Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: "Yet again this starkly shows the dangers [officers] face and the bravery they show each and every day keeping Londoners safe.
"We are not society's punchbags. We have families we want to go home to at the end of every shift, but the dangers are stark and seemingly escalating."
John Apter, chairman of the Police Federation, said: "Horrific, stomach churning scenes.
"Disgusting behaviour from those who attack the officers, those who film what's going on and those who do nothing. They are cowards, the lot of them."
And Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, added that he "utterly condemned" the disgraceful attack.
He said: "These brave officers were doing their duty and assisting the public. We owe them a debt of gratitude and I wish them a full and speedy recovery.
"Attacks on our police will not be tolerated. I urge anyone with information to come forward to ensure the perpetrators of this disgusting attack feel the full force of the law."
Superintendent Martin Rolston, from the Central East Command Unit, said: “This incident, which was captured on someone’s mobile phone is truly shocking.
Sun shows pictures of the people doing this. Mail shows pictures of the people doing this.
The BBC (surprise surprise) shows a very heavily cropped picture with things blurred out so you can't identify anything about the mob. Two days after them being caught out editing and cropping a picture of the "peaceful protest" where a "peaceful protester" is standing swinging a big hunk of wood at the police.

It's open season now, the kowtowing to the mobs and the hysteria from the MSM the last few days has given a huge signal of impunity.
Any sign that a "racist training shoe" hurt one of the guys feet as he tried to stamp on the policeman?

Whis, kinda like youre happy to support that assault??
I fear we get the Police Force we deserve. No I do not support attacks on our Police Force. I do support the right to defend yourself and your community at all times though. I don't know what caused the rumble between the copper and the guy. I don't hold with criminality either.

' I do support the right to defend yourself and your community at all times though'
So how do Police arrest a criminal if he is surrounded by 'his community' when they are also behaving criminally ?

Depends if he is being arrested for criminality or not. Depends if he is getting battered for no reason or not. It does happen saddo. I wouldn't stand by if an innocent copper was getting battered either.

They were arresting someone on suspicion of assault. They should not have to consult any feral nomark who happens to be around. They are the Police, let them do their job or let's try it without any.

It's a good job the white officers partner was a black lady or the fella with the baseball bat(i was going for a knock about in the park your honour)could have seriously injured or killed him, at least she put the mob in a quandary(do we beat up the black lady officer as well), absolutely shameful behaviour, shows what our police officers are going to come up against. As for that white girl standing their filming, hope her time comes when she needs the police!

Has this story been covered by the BBC, wasn't on tonight, may have been before but can't find anything about it on their website, they did show some football supporters attacking a couple of other blokes in Coventry though. 1st time poster, didn't see any sign of the fella with the baseball bat trying to fight off the police attackers myself, perhaps you could say what time this happens in the video.
