A female police liaison officer was brought to the ground during a scuffle at an EDL protest in Worcester.
Footage shared online shows the officer being brought to the ground during a confrontation in Broad Street, in Worcester.
She is seen lying face down on the ground before being helped up by another officer and a member of the public.
Two police officers were injured and three people were arrested after clashes during the far-right rally.
The English Defence League (EDL) staged the protest in the centre of Worcester against plans to build a mosque in the city.
A number of other groups held counter demonstrations on Saturday afternoon against the group.
West Mercia Police said two officers were injured, 'but thankfully neither is thought to be seriously hurt'.
Three people were arrested for minor public order offences, the force said.
Superintendent Damian Pettit thanked the public for their 'co-operation and patience' during the event and said a 'small minority of people were more confrontational in their attitude than we wanted'.
He added: 'Worcester enjoys positive relationships among its diverse communities and we will continue to work with our partners to build on this in the future.'
Officers are investigating reports of 'items being thrown into the EDL group', he said.
