An angry mob of white men were caught on camera attacking a Black man in Manchester as chaos continued to unfold in the United Kingdom following the fatal stabbing of three girls last week.
In the video, the mob can be seen shoving a Black man who was standing alone and surrounded by dozens of white men.
The attack lasts for nearly one minute before police try to intervene. As police approach, some of the officers appears to pile on top of the Black man holding him down while he was being attacked. Another Black man can be seen in the video moving away from the mob as they attacked the man.
The violent attacks and unrest in England have been blamed on far-right extremists who have spread disinformation about the 17-year-old boy accused of fatally stabbing the three girls and wounding several people. He was later identified as an England-born citizen whose family immigrated from Rwanda.
