Police officers who were due to help at the Queen's funeral had to be diverted to Leicester after a mass disorder broke out. It comes after a cricket game involving India and Pakistan.
Leicestershire Police said a number of resources were provided to them, with extra officers deployed from the West Midlands, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Horses from Thames Valley Police were also deployed in the city, the force added.
Police said the extra assistance was provided through the normal mutual aid process and some officers were diverted from going to London to help. The widespread disorder has led to 47 arrests, with a faith leader saying it was sparked by a “country-based dispute” after the cricket.
