A demonstration on Saturday in Liverpool saw the far-right Neo-Nazi group, “North West Infidels”, fight running battles with police and anti-fascist protesters.
Demonstrators from both sides threw bottles and bricks, as well as clashing with police officers. The protest continued for around three hours.
The police made a number of arrests during the course of the protest, because of the missiles thrown at the police. A spokesperson said, "A policing plan was put in place to facilitate a demonstration in the city centre. A number of counter protest groups turned out as a result of the planned demonstration and officers acted quickly to separate the groups.”
Police said an officer was taken to hospital with a concussion after being hit by a missile, but that they are now recovering at home.
