A disorderly crowd of far-right protesters clashed with police outside a mosque on Tuesday in a northern English town where three girls were stabbed to death during a dance event.
Scuffles erupted in some areas, and protesters wearing masks threw bottles and stones at police, Merseyside police said.
The police stationed outside termed the crowd supporters of the English Defence League. The riots were associated with rumors concerning a teenage boy who was arrested following the stabbing.
People held a silent protest in Southport for the innocent people who were stabbed and when the people were near the mosque they all got violent.
A police van was burnt and the situation was accompanied by thick smoke, one policeman received bruises on the face, including a broken nose.
Policemen wearing black helmets and armor patrolled the territory and amid slogans of “No surrender!” and “English till I die.” Firecrackers, car alarms, police siren, and hovering helicopters of police inspection were the event’s signs.
