June 3 (UPI) -- Police officers and a police dog were injured when far-right activists began violent protests in Southampton in southern England, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
The riots happened after police released video footage Monday of a police officer handcuffing 18-year-old stabbing victim Henry Nowak in December just before he died.
Right-wing politicians and pundits said that British police were biased against white people.
Nowak was stabbed by Vickrum Digwa, 23, after the two met on the street in Southampton. Digwa, who is Sikh, stabbed Nowak then told the police that Nowak made a racist attack against him. Police then handcuffed Nowak, believing him to be the attacker. After about a minute, police realized he was severely wounded and administered first aid, though Nowak died soon after.
On Monday, a judge sentenced Digwa to life in prison.
