Footage shows how riots mayhem unfolded as 18 suspect images shared

Newly-released police footage shows how far-right riots brought mayhem to the streets of Greater Manchester. In Newton Heath thugs smashed the windscreen of a bus and tried to kick in the doors and bricks and bottles were hurled at police as dozens gathered outside a hotel housing asylum seekers.

One clip shows a bare-chested man launching a missile at riot police, while another shows a woman hurling abuse at the officers. CCTV taken from inside a north Manchester pub also captured the moment several young men, suspected of taking part in the violence, appeared to high-five and congratulate each as they stand around a pool table.

And in Manchester city centre video shows how a plank of wood and a flare were launched as protesters and police clashed in Piccadilly Gardens, while several men can be seen trying to kick down the doors of a vape shop on Mosley Street.

So far, GMP has made 122 arrests in connection with the disorder, which has led to 102 charges and 60 convictions.
