LONDON —This sprawling metropolis convulsed in its worst bout of civil unrest in years Sunday as the violence that engulfed a gritty north London neighborhood over the weekend spread to other poor areas after police shot a black resident.

Police were on high alert across the city after rioters set buildings and cars ablaze, looting and clashing with police in the downtrodden north London neighborhood of Tottenham on Saturday night. The violence was spreading to other pockets of the city Sunday, with Scotland Yard deploying mounted forces in the Enfield neighborhood north of Tottenham after looters had smashed shop windows and more than 100 youths occupied the main street, battling with police.
