People in Bristol thanked for ‘exemplary behaviour’ at anti-racism rally

It was feared that Bristol could see a repeat of Saturday’s violent disorder, in which far-right protesters clashed with counter-protesters in the city centre and targeted a hotel housing asylum seekers.

Seventeen people have been arrested so far in connection with Saturday’s disorder, with three men since being charged.

Of the anti-racism demonstration last night, Cdr Supt Runacres said: “We know our communities were worried about what might happen but the vast majority of people displayed exemplary behaviour.

“I’m extremely grateful for the assistance we’ve had from community and business leaders both in the lead up to, and during, tonight’s operation. Their support has been invaluable.

“I’d also like to highlight the patience and generosity shown to my officers by local people and businesses. One café brought out hot drinks which were hugely appreciated.”
