Anti-immigrant unrest continues in British cities, following an attack on a children's dance studio in Southport last week, which resulted in the deaths of three girls and injuries to eight children and two adults.
Police reported 147 arrests, with numbers expected to rise. Authorities stated that the motives remain "unclear" and the incident is not being treated as terrorism-related.
However, false information quickly spread on social media claiming the suspect was a radical Muslim migrant, sparking initial protests. Police clarified that the 17-year-old suspect was born in the UK.
