Hopefully it all calms down...
Officers responded to a call from children’s social care at around 5pm yesterday after social workers reported being met with hostility when dealing with a child protection matter.
Responding officers were attacked and helped children’s social care staff withdraw to a place of safety.
As the disorder escalated, damage was caused to vehicles and several fires set.
Specialist public order officers came under a barrage of bricks and missiles from a large group.
A decision was taken to withdraw these officers temporarily "as it was evident that the police was their sole target".
