A protest in Southampton on Tuesday night over the killing of Henry Nowak and his treatment by police draws hundreds of people and turns violent, according to multiple reports. Sources describe the crowd as including members of the public who say they are appalled by Nowak’s death and by the account that he was handcuffed after a false allegation of racism made by his killer, Vickrum Digwa. Several far-right activists and leaders are reported to have been among those attending, alongside anti-immigrant influencers and individuals described as known fascists. The demonstrations lead to clashes with police as protesters throw objects including bricks and bins at riot officers, with injuries reported among officers and a police dog. Police say eleven officers and a police dog are hurt during the disorder. While much of the violence occurs after many speakers have left, reports also indicate that some prominent figures remain visible during confrontations with riot police. Authorities report that two people are arrested in connection with the incident.
