Police have released images of people detectives want to speak to over violent disorder in Greater Manchester.

Greater Manchester Police want to talk to five people over a disturbance in the city centre’s Piccadilly Gardens on Saturday, as well as six men in relation to a riot on Mosley Street, also in the city centre.

The force has issued images of 10 people following disorder in Bolton town centre on Sunday.

It has also released a picture of a man they want to speak to after disorder on Oldham Road, Newton Heath, on 31 July.

Disturbances broke out in Manchester city centre on Saturday when following anti-immigration and anti-fascism demonstrations.

In Bolton, fireworks, bottles, tiles and eggs were thrown as rival groups clashed on Sunday.

Rioting was sparked by misinformation online that the suspect in the fatal stabbing of three girls in Southport on 29 July was a Muslim asylum seeker.

GMP has made about 50 arrests in connection with disorder.

Smoke bombs and other missiles were thrown during unrest in Bolton town centre on Sunday, with lines of police separating two groups, one including mainly Asian men and the other waving England flags.

Police have released 10 images of people they would like to identify as part of the investigation.

About 300 people attended an anti-immigration protest outside Bolton Town Hall on Sunday when about 300 people with their faces covered, some of them shouting “Allahu Akbar”, an Arabic phrase meaning God is greatest, ran towards them.

Rabnawaz Akbar from the Manchester Council of Mosques said he wanted to reassure people that those who “feel diversity is a strength far, far outnumber those who seek to divide”.

Bishop of Salford, John Arnold, whose diocese includes Bolton, also said violence on the streets came from a “small, vocal minority”.

Mounted police and officers in riot gear were seen keeping rival protesters and other groups apart at protests across Manchester.

Demonstrations were held in Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester on Saturday, which saw the force make five arrests.

GMP has released five images of people they would like to identify in relation to disorder which broke out in Piccadilly Gardens.

Chief Constable Stephen Watson said he expected further arrests, adding that while some people had attended for “peaceful protest”, others had set out to “cause trouble” in the gardens.

Mr Watson said those arrested came from “all political and cultural backgrounds”.

Lawbreakers would face “consequences for inciting hate and causing damage”, he added.

Meanwhile, the force praised peaceful protesters who they said showed “great defiance to disorder and intolerable behaviour” in demonstrations on Wednesday evening.
