Watch: Manchester police arrest victim of fascists’ racist ‘lynch mob’ attack

A mob of dozens of far-right thugs attacked a defenceless Brown man in Manchester on Saturday 21 February, for no other reason than the colour of his skin. Witnesses said that the attackers chanted “F*** A***h” after the man asked what their protest was about.

Police arrested the victim.

The mobs were also seen performing Nazi salutes and demanding ‘forced remigration’ of Black and brown people – and attacking other locals unfortunate enough to be caught in their path. At the same time, a large contingent of police protected the racists from counter-demonstrators.

Police were then filmed arresting and handcuffing the victim:

The incident follows the pattern of previous far-right attacks in Manchester, like the 2024 attack on a lone Black man, in which police reacted to the attack by pinning down and arresting the victim.

The Greater Manchester Police force’s own figures show huge levels of racism in its policing tactics, yet it has failed to acknowledge the issue despite repeated investigations reaching conclusions of structural and institutional racism.

Fascist impunity continues in the UK.
