A rock thrown by demonstrators at an anti-immigration protest barely missed hitting a journalist following riot police in Rotherham. Footage shared by a video producer from the Press Association shows officers moving towards a large fire, before a rock is launched in their direction. It flies past the police and their riot shields, narrowly missing the reporter. An emergency Cobra meeting was called on Monday 5 August, in the wake of a weekend of disorder which saw rioters storm hotels housing asylum seekers in Rotherham. So far, 344 people have been arrested since the violence first broke out on Tuesday.
