POLICE investigating a far right protest that took place in York at the weekend have appealed for video footage and information.

Detectives want to speak to anyone who was present at last Saturday’s demo and filmed what took place.

Officers were monitoring the protest by the group National Action when they responded to a disturbance near York Minster involving a group of protestors and members of the public.

Officers quickly brought the situation under control and arrested four of the protestors and one member of the public. The later was later released without charge, the rest have been bailed.

The rest of the protest group, who are believed to have travelled from various areas of the country, were escorted back to York railway station by police officers to prevent any further disturbances.

Enquiries into the incident are continuing to identify any further offences and officers have not ruled out making any further arrests.

Anyone who can assist is asked to call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option two and ask for DC Ian Richardson.
