"This disorder, violence and destruction has no place here in Merseyside, least of all after the tragic events that took place in Southport on Monday."
"We can confirm two officers have been taken to hospital, one with a suspected broken nose and another with a suspected broken jaw." "I would urge anyone minded to continue to carry out such disorder to think long and hard. We are gathering bodycam, CCTV and camera phone evidence, and anyone involved in today's disorder can expect to face the full force of the law."
