Two people were arrested for assaulting police and possession of a weapon after several hundreds gathered outside Southampton Central Police Station on Tuesday.
Police officers were pelted with missiles during the protest held days after student Henry Nowak's killer, Vickrum Digwa, was jailed.
The violence came amid an outcry about the policing response to the deadly incident involving Nowak in December last year, after Digwa claimed he had been the victim of a racial attack while the student was handcuffed by police as he lay dying.
Far-right activist Tommy Robinson and campaigner Laurence Fox were among those who spoke to the crowd gathered yesterday.
Violent scenes broke out after a large group walked across town to the area of Portswood. Demonstrators chanted “Henry, Henry” as the line of police were pelted with bricks.
Chairs, cans and flares were thrown at police in riot gear, eventually forcing officers and three police vans back from the line they had been holding.
The Home Secretary has condemned protesters who pelted police with missiles in clashes close to where Nowak was stabbed to death.
