Anti-Jubilee Protester Set Alight at Newcastle EDL Demonstration
A teenager was taken to hospital when his hair was set alight by English Defence League supporters who attacked an anti-Jubilee party in Newcastle.
The 18-year-old, who does not wish to be identified, was hit by a burning firework thrown during the clash at Grey’s Monument between more than 100 English Defence League and National Front members and anti-Jubliee protestors.
Footage captured by our reporters show firecrackers and missiles thrown into the crowd, fights, and EDL members making apparent Nazi salutes.
