Police have arrested three men, including one for wearing a face covering, after the gathering of hundreds of anti-migrant protestors in Portsmouth on Saturday ended in violence.
After a march through the city, skirmishes took place as around 400 protesters and activists from a rival demonstration organised by Stand Up To Racism left Guildhall Square.
Though originally claimed to be a peaceful protest, anti-migrant protesters were filmed shouting ‘scum’ before scuffles broke out as officers sought to prevent them breaking through police lines.
@fancypants_s How long before cops start arresting people for not being real Muslims? https://t.co/XQGW2lJyFh
