Police van set alight as protest breaks out in Southport

The protest comes after the arrest of a 17-year-old boy on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after a knife attack on Hart Street in the seaside town on Monday.

Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, were killed in the stabbing, which occurred at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop aimed at children aged six to 10.

Five other children remain in hospital, as well as two adults in critical condition.

ACC Goss added: “Yesterday, our officers and other members of the emergency services were faced with one of the most difficult situations they will ever face.

“Tonight, they find themselves being attacked as they endeavour to prevent disorder.”

ACC Goss said the protest involved many people “who do not live in the Merseyside area or care about the people of Merseyside”.

“There has been much speculation and hypothesis around the status of a 17-year-old male who is currently in police custody and some individuals are using this to bring violence and disorder to our streets,” he added.
