Days of clashes triggered by an alleged sex assault by an asylum seeker placed by the government into a hotel in the town erupted into violence in Epping, Essex on Thursday night with police promising arrests.
Two people were arrested overnight in relation to scuffles in Epping, Essex (15 miles north-east of central London) said to have taken place over the presence of a migrant hotel in the town, and the alleged sexual assault committed by an Ethiopian asylum seeker resident against a 14-year-old girl.
Essex police said in their statement that Thursday night’s protest was initially peaceful, saying of those taking part: “These residents were peacefully and legitimately protesting. This follows a recent alleged incident involving a resident of the hotel who was swiftly arrested, charged and remanded.”

They said the local community “largely dissipated” but other individuals, who they claimed were from outside the area, arrived and were “intent on causing trouble”. Missiles were thrown, police vans smashed, and the hotel at the centre of the protests — The Bell, on Epping High Road — was damaged. Eight officers were “assaulted” and sustained minor injuries like “cuts and grazes”.
Police said in addition to the arrests that had already taken place, they had identified several suspects and were seeking to make further arrests.
The Daily Telegraph notes of footage shot and publicly released at the protest that mask-wearing men carrying England’s national flag threw missiles including eggs and bottles of what appear to be milk at officers. Left-wing counter protesters — self-confessed “anti-racists” — were also pelted, it was stated.
