Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Two Arrested After Violent Southampton Protests
Caption: Two Arrested After Violent Southampton Protests. Two people have been arrested following violent protests in Southampton over the killing of Henry Nowak and concerns about the police response. Crowds gathered to protest on Thursday evening, but parts of the demonstration turned violent as some protesters threw bottles, flares and other objects at police officers. Crime and policing minister Sarah Jones said one person was arrested for assaulting a police officer and another for possession of a weapon. Jones said investigators would review social media footage and drone images to determine whether further arrests are needed. The minister urged people to follow the wishes of the Nowak family, who have appealed for calm and asked that the tragedy not fuel further division. She said the family wanted attention focused on tackling knife crime and preventing similar deaths in the future. The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, condemned the disorder, describing the scenes as “completely unacceptable”. Mahmood said there was no justification for using the tragedy to incite violence and warned those responsible could face the full force of the law.
