Police bitten and spat at after mobs ‘target asylum seeker homes’

A Norfolk town has seen disorder across two nights (Picture: Scott Hussey/SWNS) A market town has been plunged into chaos by anti-immigration protests across two nights, leading to attacks on police officers and subsequent arrests. On Tuesday, crowds of up to 100 people were seen storming homes linked to asylum seekers in Norfolk. The individuals shouted and attempted to gain access to the properties in St John’s Way, Thetford, with a small group managing to enter one, force a resident out, and steal their phone. As the disorder continued on Thursday evening, two men were arrested after two police officers were taken to hospital, with one female officer ‘seriously bitten’. Other arrests were made for offences including public order, harassment, and possession of an offensive weapon. Sign u
