Police Officers Injured in Violent Protests Across U.K. Following Fatal Stabbing Attack

Violent protests and riots have erupted across several British cities in the wake of a mass stabbing in Southport, which was followed by a wave of disinformation about the identity of the attacker. The unrest has been attributed to far-right activists who have been accused of using social media platforms to spread false information, leading to violent crowds and burning storefronts. Police have deployed thousands of officers onto the streets, many in riot gear, and have made dozens of arrests.
