The Brixton riots of 1995 began on December 13 after the death of black 26 year old, Wayne Douglas, in police custody. Douglas was a criminal who had robbed a couple in bed at knifepoint hours earlier. Trouble broke out after what had been a peaceful protest outside the Brixton Police Station where the death occurred. With several hundred people involved, the riot resulted in damage to property and vehicles in the area. Police sealed off a three kilometre (2 mile) area around Brixton in south London.
