The violent rallies began on Tuesday night following a deadly stabbing spree that killed three young girls and wounded several others at a children's dance and yoga class in northwest England.
The attack has triggered Islamophobic and anti-immigration sentiments in the U.K., leading to hundreds of arrests, dozens of officers injured, and multiple buildings damaged.
That's when false rumors began to spread online, claiming that an asylum-seeker was behind the attack. On Tuesday night, rioters stormed the streets in Southport, targeting a local mosque.
Beyond Southport, demonstrations flared up across Englan.
