Anti-immigration demonstrators calling themselves Bristol Patriots and counter-protesters clashed in Redcliffe outside a hotel.

Ukip leader Nick Tenconi met with press and protesters in Bristol, where he called the city a “communist-run hell hole” and a “wonderful town” in the same breath.

Avon and Somerset Police said on Saturday that five people in total were arrested at the demonstration and one police officer was in hospital, having sustained injuries during the operation.
