Dave Gilmour’s son arrested at student riot
The privately-educated 21-year-old, whose dad is worth £78million, was yesterday arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and attempted criminal damage. The son of legendary Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour has been arrested for taking part in the violent protests over student tuition that have engulfed London.
Charlie Gilmour was charged Thursday on suspicion of violent disorder and attempted criminal damage, British newspaper The Guardian reported.
The 21-year-old was also accused of damaging the Union flag on London's Cenotaph, which is a monument in Britain honoring fallen soldiers, the BBC reported.
Last month he reportedly was caught on video grabbing a policeman's helmet during protests, which also may have gotten him in trouble with London police.
