35 arrested in Middlesbrough riots involving far-right groups, causing property damage and engaging in violent acts.
35 people were arrested in Middlesbrough, UK on 4 August amidst a surge of violent protests involving far-right groups. Rioters caused significant damage to properties, including the crown court, university buildings, and homes, and engaged in acts such as smashing car windows, hurling objects at officers, and shouting racial slurs. The unrest, which follows a wave of racist thuggery and riots across England, has led to 55 arrests in total, with 20 suspects arrested in connection with rioting in Hartlepool earlier in the week. Assistant Chief Constable David Felton described the violence as "staggering" and pledged that those involved would be arrested and put before the courts.
