(BBC) Fifteen people have been arrested in an operation to “deter further disorder” in Leicester.
There was large-scale unrest on Saturday amid tensions involving mainly young men from sections of the Muslim and Hindu communities.
Police said it had been sparked by an “unplanned protest.” Another protest involving about 100 people followed on Sunday.
Leicestershire Police said there had been no further disorder overnight.
The force added that all 15 people arrested on Sunday remained in custody.
Leicester’s elected mayor, Sir Peter Soulsby, said he and community leaders were “baffled” by the events, saying they had been “fanned by some very distorted social media” and “a lot of people who came in from outside.”
