On Friday evening, videos surfaced on social media from Ribblers Lane in Knowsley, Liverpool, that showed protestors attacking a hotel.

Metro UK reported that they were far-right protestors who lashed at Knowsley Suites Hotel as it was used as an asylum by non-locals. Merseyside Police confirmed to BBC that there were no injuries.

“Officers were facilitating an initially peaceful protest and counter-protest on Ribblers Lane,” the police spokesperson said.

“During the evening, missiles have reportedly been thrown and damage caused to a police vehicle. No injuries have been reported at this time. Additional officers are in the area to deal with these incidents.”

George Howarth, the Labour MP from Knowsley reacted to the incidents saying that “until the police have investigated the matter, it is too soon to jump to conclusions.”

“I have referred an alleged incident posted on social media, which has triggered a demonstration outside the Suites Hotel, to Merseyside Police and Knowsley Council,” he said on Twitter.

‘Until the police have investigated the matter, it is too soon to jump to conclusions and the effort on the part of some to inflame the situation is emphatically wrong. If an offense has been committed, the police should deal with it appropriately through due process,” he continued.

‘In addition, the misinformation about refugees being feather-bedded is untrue and intended to paint a picture that does not at all represent the facts. The people of Knowsley are not bigots and are welcoming to people escaping from some of the most dangerous places in the world in search of a place of safety.’
