Objects hurled at police in Liverpool as far-right clash with officers
Objects were hurled at police officers in Liverpool as the far-right clashed with officers on Saturday, 3 August.
Incidents took place in several cities including Manchester, Hull, Leeds, and Stoke, which saw “violent thugs” clash with police and loot shops in some instances.
Around 90 people have been arrested across the UK as authorities warned more disorder is likely in the coming days.
Two officers in Liverpool were taken to hospital - one with a suspected broken nose and another with a suspected broken jaw - as chairs, bricks, bottles and flares were thrown at them.
Rioting is thought to have been triggered in part by social media misinformation about the knife attack in Southport, on Monday, in which three children were killed.
