Videos circulating on social media from the Sunderland protest show a local police station on fire and large crowds gathered carrying anti-immigrant signs.
Ian Forsyth/Getty Images“The shocking scenes we have witnessed in Sunderland this evening are completely unacceptable,” Chief Superintendent Barron said.
Earlier this week, police said they believed the crowd in Southport took to the streets over unconfirmed reports speculating on the identity of the teenage stabbings suspect.
Police have said the suspect was born in Wales and lived in a village nearby, according to Reuters.
“The police have the full backing of Government to take the strongest possible action & ensure they face the full force of the law.
