Andy Burnham says Greater Manchester is 'better than this' as arrests follow a protest in Manchester.
The mayor of Greater Manchester has cautioned against "mob rule" inspired by "half truths" on social media after a demonstration over the fatal stabbings in Southport led to arrests in the region.
Greater Manchester Police said their "early intervention" meant there was not "any serious injury or damage". Two men, aged 18 and 25, have been arrested for violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker. They remain in custody at this time for questioning.People living close to the Holiday Inn in Newton Heath where the violence broke have said they were upset and frightened by what happened.
Mr Burnham said the city region "cannot descend into mob rule inspired by social media where half truths and half facts are whipping people up".
