The prosecutor also repeats a statement from British Transport Police officer Ruby Stevenson, who was sent from London to Southampton to assist Hampshire police.
The constable said she was called "a traitor" and "scum" by protesters.
She added: "We were unable to hold the cordon... They were throwing glass bottles, cans and wheelie bins.
"The crowd surrounded us and I felt terrified. At one point, I didn't think I was going to make it out alive or without serious injury."
The constable added that she was hit by thrown objects several times, adding she had "never experienced such violence or hate towards police" in her 12-year career.
