Dozens of protesters have marched on a suspected migrant hotel in Essex in a fourth day of action after an asylum seeker was charged with sexual assault. One of the protesters has been arrested, police said,

One Metropolitan police van sped through an improvised blockade on Epping High Street ‘making contact’ with a protester who appeared to fail to move out of the way. Staff at the hotel told Metro on Thursday that the car park was a no-go zone after the riot as they feared the protesters would return in force.
