Police Face Injuries During Anti-Migrant Protest in Portsmouth
(MENAFN) Several police officers sustain injuries and some police vehicles are damaged during an anti-migrant demonstration in Portsmouth on England’s southern coast, according to authorities.
Hundreds of people gather in the city after a small boat carrying migrants reaches the area, leading to confrontations between demonstrators and police. The British government condemns what it describes as "thuggish" behavior during the unrest.
About 200 protesters remain in the area before police disperse the gathering at around 4 a.m. local time on Monday. Authorities say an investigation is underway to determine who was responsible for assaults against officers, damage to vehicles and other potential criminal offenses.
The confrontation occurs as 140 migrants are brought ashore in Hampshire after arriving by boat. The landing site is around 120 miles from the location where small boats carrying migrants typically reach the UK.
Although criminal offenses take place during the demonstration, hundreds of people participate peacefully and lawfully, according to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary Commissioner Donna Jones.
Separate government figures released Monday indicate that hundreds more migrants arrive in the UK on Sunday, highlighting the continued flow of small-boat crossings.
