Clashes between the Police and hundreds of hooligans in several UK cities, following the stabbing attack that claimed the lives of three girls in Southport. A 17-year-old immigrant has been arrested following a stabbing incident in Southport, England, which resulted in the deaths of 3 children and left nine other children and two adults critically injured, his name has not been published and he has already appeared in court.
Demonstrators threw flares, cans and other things that were already around, while chanting “Rule Britannia”, “save our kids” and “stop the boats”, while police were seen wrestling a man off the road and onto the pavement. Others attempted to kick down a fence and were confronted by riot police. More than 100 people were arrested, the Metropolitan police said.
More than 50 police officers were injured during the protests on Tuesday night, with injuries including fractures, cuts and concussion. By Wednesday evening, five men aged from 31 to 39 had been arrested on suspicion of offences including violent disorder, affray and possession of a bladed article.
