Photographs show the aftermath of shocking scenes that saw opposing protestors clash outside a hotel, which is being used to house asylum seekers.
A police van was vandalised and then set on fire during the demonstration last night (Friday February 10), while missiles were also thrown. Three people have since been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.
The area around the Suites Hotel, Kirkby, Merseyside, was quiet this morning but images taken and shared by the Liverpool Echo show abandoned police riot gear strewn across the ground, scorch marks on the pavement, and broken placards.
