Third man is arrested over Essex anti-migrant protest which saw thugs clashing with riot police near asylum hotel after Ethiopian resident was charged over schoolgirl sex attack
A third man has been arrested after violent protests erupted outside an asylum hotel following the arrest of an Ethiopian resident accused of sexually assaulting schoolgirls. A 33-year-old man from Loughton was arrested tonight on suspicion of violent disorder and criminal damage following the incident in Epping, Essex. He is currently in custody where he will be questioned. Hundreds of furious residents gathered outside the Bell Hotel, on Thursday, as it has been operating as an asylum hotel on and off for the last five years. It began peacefully but later blew into violence after a group of hardcore agitators stopped three Essex Police riot vans from driving past the hotel to support their colleagues in the centre of the town. Children in balaclavas joined grown men and women to block the road by standing across it, before protesters started attacking the police vehicles, with some seen hurling projectiles at the vans and officers. It comes after Ethiopian asylum seeker Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was charged with a number of sexual offences. He was arrested by officers on July 8 after reports of a man acting inappropriately towards a number of people. Kebatu appeared at Colchester Magistrates' Court on Thursday, July 10, and denied all offences. He was charged with three counts of sexual assault, as well as one count of inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity and one count of harassment without violence. At the protest well-dressed mothers stood side-by-side with retired businessmen and women and dozens of bald tattooed middle-aged men to call for the hotel to stop operating as refugee accommodation. Police say eight officers were assaulted when crowds surrounded a small counter-demonstration. Chief Superintendent Simon Anslow said: 'The events in Epping on Thursday were shocking and have no place in our neighbourhoods. 'We understand the concerns of the local community and support everyone's right to peaceful protest. 'Unfortunately, across social media we are seeing inflammatory comments which suggest we were supporting and enabling certain protestors. 'This is categorically not true. We police without fear or favour, remaining impartial at all times and have legal responsibilities to ensure peaceful protest is facilitated. Seconds earlier, a police van leading the convoy was seen hurtling through a plastic barrier 'Our priority during the policing of this incident was the safety of everyone there, we used tried and tested public order tactics to achieve this. 'This included keeping opposing protestors apart to avoid violence. The early protest was peaceful, with people expressing their views. 'We will continue to support people to do this, but we will not tolerate anyone who comes with the intent to commit crime or who resort to crime because others present take a different view to them. 'Officers will act robustly and swiftly towards anyone intent on disrupting the local community's right to have their voices heard.' Police on patrol also arrested a man on suspicion of affray, following an assault reported close to The Bell Hotel on Sunday evening. Dean Walters, 65, of Harlow, has been charged and released on bail to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on September 24, with stringent conditions until then. A second person was arrested on Thursday night for failing to comply with orders given around dispersal and remained in custody. Dramatic footage also emerged from the protest which appears to show the moment a demonstrator is driven into by one of the police vehicles. The Essex Police van can be seen knocking over the young man, who stood in Epping High Road, in what appears to be an attempt to stop the vehicle leaving. Protesters had erected a make-shift barrier made up of pallets and plastic fencing in the road to stop police leaving the scene. But the first of four Essex Police vans crashed through the barrier, leading to a protester to stand in the road, who was then knocked out of the way by the second van as people screamed: 'Oh my god' and 'what the f***'. The youth who was mown down by the police van is then seen getting up and brushing himself down as he shouts at the convoy. Another man, who was standing by the side of the road, also fell to the ground during the chaotic clip. Speaking of the incident, ACC Hooper said the video had been reported to the force, but said they had seen another video 'which maybe shows it from a different angle' Essex Police officers, dressed in full riot-gear, can be seen sat in the vehicles - as thugs are seen attacking the vans, kicking and launching missiles at them. Photos from later in the evening show one of the vans with a smashed windscreen, while one masked man is seen jumping up and down on the roof of another police vehicle. They had been among up to 100 officers who battled with anti-migrant protesters who had confronted a counter an anti-racism demonstration. Counter protestors carried placards reading 'Refugees Welcome', but were pelted with bottles, eggs and can and told to 'f*** off out of Epping' by an angry mob. The agitators also threw fireworks and bottles at police as they sought to protect anti-racism counter-demonstrators.

Masked rioters attack highway and clash with police in Limoges, France
Dozens of masked assailants wielding metal bars, mortars and molotov cocktails attacked cars on a highway and clashed with police early on Saturday in the city of Limoges in central France, officials said. The overnight clashes left nine police wounded, according to authorities, who said they suspected a gang turf war. The unrest came in the middle of France's summer tourism season. The armed attackers descended on the RN141 throughway and tried to block it during a battle with police, according to officials. 'There were between 100 and 150 masked individuals, armed with molotov cocktails, fireworks, stones, iron bars and baseball bats,' local police union leader Laurent Nadeau told AFP. Police responded with teargas and crowd-control munitions. Mayor Émile-Roger Lombertie called the rioters an 'urban guerrilla group'. 'They're organised, structured, there's a plan, weapons,' he said. 'This was not a spontaneous protest to complain about something. No pretext, nothing. It's about destroying things and showing the territory belongs to you.' Prosecutors said vehicles, some with families and children, were attacked but there were no immediate reports of wounded drivers. 'None of the motorists were physically assaulted. However, several are particularly shocked,' prosecutors said in a statement. Unrest had erupted nearby, in Val de l'Aurence, on the night of 14 July, France's national day. Lombertie said this 'very poor neighbourhood, with young people from immigrant backgrounds' had become a 'lawless zone'. The Limoges prosecutor, Émilie Abrantes, said that although the neighbourhood was 'known' for drug trafficking, there was no evidence linking the unrest to recent investigations into drug trafficking. France's interior ministry announced on Saturday plans to deploy a special security force to the city.

Maghull Cricket Club plea after being overrun by youths
A cricket club that has seen matches and training repeatedly disrupted by antisocial behaviour has pleaded with parents to stop their children from causing chaos at the Cricket Club in Merseyside has made more than 25 police reports in the last year, and youngsters fighting on the cricket field - some armed with hammers - interrupted a junior coaching session in May. The club said called police again on Friday when dozens of teenagers were on the pitch, with some riding bikes and playing football during an U9s session. Club secretary Neil Dutton said incidents had been "intimidating" for youth players and that he was worried about potential problems over the summer holidays. Mr Dutton, who has been involved with the club since 2002, said: "If they are not playing cricket they've no reason to be here."There's loads of playing fields and parks where they can go."He said in the latest incident on Friday, the club was trying to coach under 9s. "They are very young and it can be intimidating for them," he said, adding it was really hard for them to focus, too. Mr Dutton said it was frustrating to often hear "kids have nothing to do" as the club was putting on organised activities for youngsters. He said if youngsters were interested in playing cricket, the club would be happy for their parents to get in touch and would lend them kit so they could have a club has permission to build a fence around the perimeter to block access to the ground, which is owned by the Dutton added the club was currently in the process of looking into funding for the BBC has contacted Merseyside Police for information about Friday's incident.
