Petrol bombs were thrown at officers in Belfast while police in Birmingham are investigating a number of offences.

The wave of violent unrest and disorder across parts of the UK continued on Monday night as police came under attack in Belfast, Darlington and Plymouth.

Six people were arrested in Plymouth while several officers suffered minor injuries in the violence, Devon and Cornwall Police said.

In South Belfast, riot officers had stones and petrol bombs thrown at them in an area close to a supermarket which was set on fire at the weekend.

Earlier, a vigil was held for the victims of a mass stabbing in Southport last week which sparked the unrest. Nearly 400 people have been arrested since the rioting began.

    It was neither the stabbing nor the vigil.

    It’s uneducated white thugs who have been told for years that immigrants and Muslims are the reason they’re struggling.
