Four police officers were hospitalized.What we saw in Sunderland was nothing but senseless acts of violence.” said Sunderland Chief Superintendent Mark Hall.
The origin of this conflagration: a knife attack that occurred on Monday, July 29 in Southport, in the north of the country, which caused the death of three young girls. The suspect is a 17-year-old young man. A rumor about his origins and his supposed illegal arrival circulated on social networks but denied by the police.
The young man was remanded in custody. His identity has been made public. He is a 17-year-old Welshman, born to Rwandan parents. Over the past week, 10 people have been arrested. The authorities fear that these clashes will spread to the rest of the United Kingdom.
