The incident happened at 01:30 BST on Sunday in Small Heath, Birmingham, during efforts to target illegal market stalls during Ramadan, the force said.
Gang fights, illegal trading, blocked roads and unauthorised food outlets have all been witnessed in the area, they added. Sunday's operation with trading standards officers came after complaints from residents about the issues, West Midlands Police said.Video from body-worn cameras and social media footage from the night were being examined, Det Ch Insp David Sproson said and he called the actions of the crowd "completely unacceptable".
We were never asked.
Muzlims go zombie mode in Ramadan.....Are they even humans!
banislam
Why on earth do we have ramadan markets? Not British culture, and should not be called ramadan markets as its culturally insensitive to the indigenous of Britain.
Disgusting behaviour. I can bet they’ll play the religion card to get away with their actions toward our police and trading standards. Filth.
They need to clean them up
India is monitoring the situation closely. Don’t worry white people!
And not a single arrest. This is what privilege looks like in modern Britain
'People in the community are urged...' Surely that should read 'Muslims in the community...'
Should have sent extra police to make a point.
Was it an 'all you can't eat buffet' offer
Religion of peace?
A ding dong at Ramadan? You could call it a Ramadamadingdong .
Or they could do what they do at football match’s and send the riot police in and smash them
What have you done to Britain? Islam is Cancer.
Cool now report on what’s been happening in Newtownards for the past 2 weeks
Seriously? I thought people came to this country to escape all the lawless shit - this is what Woke has done - no consequences… wait for them to shout Racism 🙄 bored of it
Who would have thought that country would end up like this, not all the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for this country in world war 1 & world war 2 I bet.
Religion of peace, this is what you get for importing low IQ people from 3rd world countries.
Import third world ,get third world.
Hmm, so only certain religious groups can act outside of U.K. law?
So sick of the tedious knuckle dragging racists that appear commenting on any story mentioning anything related to Islam
Imagine if it said police attacked at a football match… I don’t think the words calm urged would be used
Looks like an Egyptian souk. Is this how markets are today in England?
England has been colonised
They are savages and need to be dealt with severely. Deport them to Rwanda, there’s lot of empty houses just waiting for them.
How enriching 😊
Their take over is almost complete. RIP UK.
Go on get in there Police 😂😂😂😂
Shut up for diversity? because we are tolerant?
You do realise that rules and law don’t apply there - not just at Ramadan 😂
Getting bad in Saudi, Iran and karachi these days..
We have a great number of communities in Britain who do not have any interest in abiding by British codes of conduct - this is a consequence of the UK Government’s migration / integration policies over many decades…
East London this would be “pop up” market full of hipsters. Toxteth , Brixton … Police wouldn’t go near. But last days of Ramadan, Asian community yup let’s raid it…. Now why might that have been done…
Christ Almighty it looks like a dust pan and brush wouldn't go amiss or a bulldozer.
Why is the white establishment so terrified of upsetting Muslims? I really don’t get it.
The issue seems to have been, as if often the way, outsiders setting up illegal stalls looking to cash in on lots of people being out late. Many local stores and shop owners who will have had very little trade during the day upset at losing trade.
put up some lights to appease them, that’ll do the trick SadiqKhan oh wait 🤔
This is what middle Britain lefties want for our country. But somehow they're never the ones with the crap going on outside their doors or getting bottles thrown at them.
Kin hell what a shithole , is that a no go area
Multiculturalism going well again I see!
I thought Ramadan was a period of prayer, thanks and peace- time with family and goodwill. Obviously some are not reading the same book, or see any opportunity to create trouble as a good opportunity regardless of the holy month
Free enterprise not allowed to thrive now?
Savages! How can this be allowed to happen? To have immigrants turning whole areas of towns into no go areas is outrageous. If you want to live in our country you need to abide by our laws 🤬
Culture - the catch all excuse
Wouldn’t have happened under Cillian Murphy 😡
In 20 years most of the UK will be Islamic and under Sharia law, and the leftist progressives and every facet of our Government will do everything in their power to ensure that’s what happens.
Calm is code for were gutless woke police who pander to Islamic colonisers.
Criminal activity left unchecked fosters a sense of untouchability. No go zone for police in Birmingham who were trying to enforce trading protection for local residents. Criminal gangs rule or UK law and personal safety?
This is typical of a section of society that has been tippy toed around for years and never been properly policed. They now think they're untouchable and above the law and will race bait at every opportunity. Time to go in hard.
No doubt the police will be deemed racist for this.
No. Why don't you tell your government bosses to deal with the issue instead of allowing entire areas to become extremists areas? There should be no,no go areas for police and if that message doesn't get through, there is the army.
Well I would be seriously hacked off if this happened on my street. It is very concerning that the Police withdrew.
Fvcking Moslims, the religion of peace! 😡
Jeez, I thought it was Kabul!
Usual suspects thinking they can do what they like again
Alcohol bottles?
Thugs😤
Christians wouldn't behave like this
There are a group of people doing that in that kind of place
