Bottles and smoke flares thrown in hotel protest
Hundreds of people have gathered at the site of the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, after a protest was organised for 18:00 BST.
The disorder followed the arrest and charge of an asylum seeker on suspicion of alleged sexual assaults in the town.
Essex Police announced it would enforce a Section 60AA order until Monday - to require the removal of face coverings - after unrest at the site on Thursday, which saw three arrests.
Demonstrators chanted "send them home" and "save our kids", as projectiles were thrown towards police vans blocking the entrance to the hotel.
A small number of protesters wore balaclavas and face coverings during the protest.
The Section 60AA order comes after police said a protest on Thursday saw people wearing face coverings and "committing serious acts of disorder".
A spokesperson for the force added: "We will deal robustly and quickly with anyone intent on coming into Epping to commit selfish criminal behaviour.
"The right to peaceful protest is protected by law and allows everyone freedom of expression, but this must be done respectfully and if there is a risk to public order we will act appropriately."
The order was in place around Epping including its tube station.

There are a lot of legal matters that are very complicated so I cannot comment on any of that." Pressed on whether he was confident that the club had followed all of the correct processes relating to Partey, the Spaniard added: "100 per cent." WHAT NEXT FOR PARTEY? Partey is due to appear at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on August 5. The 32-year-old has always maintained his innocence and denies all of the allegations made against him.

Essex Police announced before the protest that it would order demonstrators to remove face coverings when requested under section 60AA of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. Anyone who refuses to remove a face mask when asked to do so is likely to be arrested and could be imprisoned if convicted, the force said. 'The right to peaceful protest is protected by law and allows everyone freedom of expression, but this must be done respectfully and if there is a risk to public order, we will act appropriately,' officers said. It comes after a man was charged with violent disorder and criminal damage on Sunday afternoon following previous clashes outside the hotel.

Keith Silk, 33, of Torrington Drive, Loughton, was arrested on Saturday, Essex Police said. The force said on Sunday that the CPS had authorised police to charge Silk with one count of violent disorder and one count of criminal damage. He was remanded into custody and will appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Monday. Thursday's demonstration was one of a series of protests outside the hotel since 38-year-old asylum seeker Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu was charged with sexual assault after an incident where he is alleged to have attempted to kiss a 14-year-old girl. He denied the charge when he appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
