Police faced a barrage of wood, chairs and fire extinguishers in the latest riot in the wake of deadly stabbings.
town of Rotherham have struggled to hold back a mob of far-right rioters seeking to break into a hotel believed to be housingFootage from Sky News showed a line of police officers with shields facing a barrage of missiles, including bits of wood, chairs and fire extinguishers, as they sought to prevent the rioters from entering the Holiday Inn Express hotel. A small fire was also visible while windows in the hotel were smashed.
About 100 people were arrested but more are likely as police scour CCTV, social media and footage from body-worn cameras. "We're seeing officers that are being pulled from day-to-day policing," Tiffany Lynch from the Police Federation of England and Wales told the BBC. Suspects under 18 are usually not named in the UKbut Judge Andrew Menary ordered Axel Rudakubana, born in Wales to Rwandan parents, to be identified, in part to stop the spread of misinformation.
He led the English Defence League, which Merseyside Police has linked to the violent protest in Southport on Tuesday, a day after the stabbing attack. While condemning the violence, he has criticised the government for blaming it on "a few far-right thugs" and saying "the far right is a reaction to fear … shared by tens of millions of people".
