Eight people have been arrested and three police officers taken to hospital following rioting in Sunderland city centre, police said.
"Eight people have so far been arrested for a range of offences, including violent disorder and burglary.Hundreds of people gathered in Keel Square, many of them draped in England flags, on Friday evening.Mounted police followed the march, along with officers in vans who battled their way through traffic to keep up.
Videos posted on social media appeared to show a fire at a city centre police office, which was marked permanently closed on Google Maps and was no longer listed on a police station finder on Northumbria Police's website. "During the course of the evening, those officers were met with serious and sustained levels of violence, which is utterly deplorable.
"We also know the behaviour displayed is in no way representative of our friendly and welcoming region.
