Britain's interior minister has accused activists of hijacking a tragedy to stir up violence after police were attacked at a protest over the death of a teenager who was handcuffed as he lay dying while his killer falsely claimed a racist attack.
Police were pelted with chairs, cans, rocks and flares late on Tuesday by some of the hundreds who attended a protest in the southern English coast city of Southampton, where Henry Nowak was killed in December.
Two people were arrested and 11 officers and a police dog were injured, police said.
