Far-right extremists tried to set fire to the Holiday Inn Express hotel in Rotherham, UK, where illegal immigrants live temporarily.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

"Hundreds of people participating in the riots broke the windows of the hotel and threw bottles, stones and chairs at the police officers who surrounded the building. Some activists were able to enter the hotel. Some law enforcement officers needed first aid," the report said.

It is noted that large protests have been going on for several days in dozens of cities in Great Britain. On July 29, 17-year-old teenager Axel Rudakuba attacked minors with a knife during a dance lesson.
