Police in Thetford, Norfolk, report that officers are attacked during anti-immigration protests described by outlets as disorder and involving a mob. Multiple incidents are reported across at least two nights. One report says a male officer is struck with a rock, while a female officer is bitten and another officer is spat at during the chaotic scenes. A separate report describes a police officer as “seriously bitten” during violent protests in the town. Another outlet reports that the disruption continues into a second night, with officers again reportedly being hit with a rock. Coverage links the protests to wider public anger over “asylum seeker housing” and immigration-related issues. The articles focus on injuries and attacks against police during the unrest, but do not provide detailed information on arrests, charges, or the identities of those involved. The reporting presents a consistent account that officers face physical assaults during the demonstrations and that the disorder persists over consecutive nights.
