CHAOS IN SOUTHAMPTON…

A 16-year-old was arrested amid violent protests over Henry Nowak’s tragic death, leaving the community on edge.

Disturbing police bodycam footage ignited outrage, sparking clashes between demonstrators and authorities.

The teen was released on conditional bail, but her connection to the case is now under intense scrutiny.

Neighbors, witnesses, and the public are questioning her motivations and possible role in the unrest.

Authorities are investigating multiple angles as protests continue, heightening tension in Southampton.

And one haunting question remains: what role did she truly play in the unfolding chaos?

Police holding riot shields have clashed with protesters close to where Henry Nowak was stabbed to death.

Dozens of police, along with the police helicopter, riot vans and other emergency services are currently dealing with a large protest in the Portswood area.

Hundreds of people are still in attendance, having started their demonstration in the centre of Southampton earlier.

Tommy Robinson has also been in attendance at the protests, which began shortly before 6pm.

Officers were pelted with stones on a residential street in the St Denys area of Southampton before they charged with perspex shields in an attempt to push the crowd back.

However, the crowds have pushed back. Southampton’s local paper, the Daily Echo, has also reported that protesters are setting commercial bins on fire and rolling them towards officers.

Throughout the evening, demonstrators could be heard chanting “Henry, Henry”, as the line of police were pelted with bricks.

Chairs, cans and flares were also thrown at police in riot gear, eventually forcing officers and three police vans back from the line they had been holding in another area in Portswood.

Local community groups are appealing for calm said they have recieved reports of harassment towards Sikhs and Muslims.

One told ITV Meridian: “There have been isolated reports from the community of minor incidents of harassment towards Sikhs and Muslims because of the sad incident involving Henry Nowak.

“His family have stressed the importance of community cohesion and calm.

“Please remain vigilant and if you experience, hear or see any raciist behaviour it is important to report it.”

Hampshire Police has been contacted for comment on the situation.
