Clashes break out between EDL and black and Asian people

Violent clashes have broken out between EDL supporters and members of the local black and Asian community.

Large groups of supporters have become involved in skirmishes with youths in the area of Humberstone Road, Leicester.

They ran away from the main protest site in Humberstone Gate East to a nearby main road where they confronted gangs of local youths.

Sporadic fighting broke out between the two sides while riot police sought to maintain control.
