Nine EDL Members Arrested Over Pub Attack

The Yorkshire Evening Post reported that a gang of English Defence League (EDL) supporters caused terror when they attacked a pub in Leeds whilst an anti-racism rock concert (Rock Against Racism) was being staged.

The court heard how windows and doors were smashed as bricks and bottles were hurled. An object thrown by one of the gang members hit one man who brought his son to enjoy the event.

The organisers of the event had received threats from various EDL members with one saying they would “smash the place up.”

They have been handed community sentences.
