12:35Now PlayingAfter riots broke out in Sunderland, Matthew Wright speaks to LBC's Emily Craigie, who was present at the scene, and Soyful Alam, Former Imam of Southport Mosque, to discuss the events that unfolded.
A police station was set on fire and eight people were arrested as protesters clashed with police on Friday.
Footage also shows a car being torched, missiles being thrown and glass being smashed.
Chief Superintendent Helena Barron, who led the policing operation, said: "The shocking scenes we have witnessed in Sunderland this evening are completely unacceptable. I want to make it absolutely clear that the disorder, violence and damage which has occurred will not be tolerated.
"The safety of the public is our utmost priority and when we became aware that a protest had been planned, we ensured there was an increased policing presence in the city. During the course of the evening those officers were met with serious and sustained levels of violence, which is utterly deplorable."
