More than 70 people were arrested during clashes between right-wing and anti-fascist protesters which brought a town centre to a standstill.

Police condemned the violence in Bolton, Lancashire, which erupted between supporters of controversial right-wing group The English Defence League (EDL) and Unite Against Fascism (UAF).

Thousands of people took part in a rally in Victoria Square, with at least two police officers and members of the public injured. At least 74 arrests were made, more than 55 from the UAF and nine from the EDL, police said.
