SOUTHPORT, England, July 31 (Reuters) – Violent clashes in a seaside town in northwest England following the killing of three young girls at a dance workshop in a stabbing attack, left dozens of British police officers injured late on Tuesday.
Police vans were set on fire in Southport and protesters dismantled garden walls to hurl bricks at both officers and at a mosque following speculation on social media that the teenage suspect behind the attack was a Muslim.
