Student protester who threw fire extinguisher from roof jailed

A student who admitted throwing a fire extinguisher from the roof of Millbank Tower in London during the student fees protests was jailed for 32 months today.

Edward Woollard, 18, joined protesters who stormed the complex, housing the Conservative party headquarters, on 10 November.

Television pictures showed Woollard throwing an empty metal fire extinguisher from a seventh-floor rooftop as hundreds of people gathered in a courtyard below.

Woollard, of Dibden Purlieu, Hampshire, will serve at least half of his sentence for violent disorder in a young offenders' institution.

He slumped forward as the sentence was handed down and his family were in floods of tears.

Anyone who throws a fire extinguisher off the roof of a building into a crowd of people deserves everything he gets in my view.
