Three people have been arrested on suspicion of the attempted murder of a police officer after riots spread across England.

The Prime Minister was forced to return early from holiday to deal with the escalating crisis.

Scenes of widespread looting, violence and arson were seen not only in London, where riots began on Saturday night, but in other major cities including Liverpool and Birmingham.

The worst rioting in decades led to the arrest of hundreds of people, as streets were turned into war zones.

Scotland Yard said the three people were apprehended following an incident in Brent, north west London, that led to a police officer being injured by a car while trying to stop looters.

Police and emergency services were overwhelmed by a third consecutive night of trouble, with riots starting in London in the daylight hours of Monday.

David Cameron flew back to Britain to chair the Government's emergency committee Cobra and meet police chiefs, having been on a family holiday to Tuscany. Downing Street said Mr Cameron will meet Home Secretary Theresa May and Acting Scotland Yard Commissioner Tim Godwin before chairing the Cobra meeting at 9am.

Scotland Yard said 334 people had been arrested, 69 people charged and two cautioned in connection with the rioting and looting across London. West Midlands Police arrested about 100 people in Birmingham after youths went on the rampage in the city centre's retail area, near the Bullring shopping mall.

Cars were set alight in Liverpool, and police officers were pelted with makeshift weapons including golf clubs as they tried to contain the gangs. In Bristol, residents were urged to avoid the city centre by Avon and Somerset Police after 150 rioters hit the streets.

Nottinghamshire Police said officers dealt with a number of sporadic disturbances in the St Anne's area of Nottingham overnight, arresting a boy of 16 and a 20-year-old. In Kent, five people were arrested by police following trouble in the Medway area. The force said fires had been set across Chatham, Rainham and Gillingham overnight


What is the world comming too???

I hope all Members who live in the UK stay Safe

Yes its absolutely rediculous what people are doing to their own town. I mean this whole riot is suppose to be about some guy who was shot by the police and they are protesting against what the police did..what does looting, destroying and burning down shops and businesses have to do with it?

If their so angry about what happened and are doing this to get justice then they have failed. There not showing any respect to the man who was shot and its not about him anymore its all about "Lets smash stuff up and nick as much as we can". Idiots!.

All the rioters/looters will get caught eventually!

It's funny, in the UK, people begin riots for stuff that's actually kinda important. Here, in Canada, we burn down police cars and smash store windows when we lose a hockey game

Hey

The Kids of today (in the UK) lack any respect for each other and their peers, that's all down too the do-gooders who stopped Capital Punishment :? Now we have an Underclass of total Idiots who have no aim in life other than following the Celebrities and being so called Big Men by being a Gangsta Wannabe in a Gang. They dont want to work and think the world owes them a living, They have had more oppurtunities than I ever did what with Technology etc and they decide to waste thier lives by Terrorising others in thier Communities.

Dont they realise that THEY will be Paying for it, as well as the rest of Us in the years to come..

A few solutions
Bring back the BIRCH (Every Saturday in every Town)
Bring in the Army and have a Curfew in London
Arrest the Kids/Rioters and Parents and sell their Houses and Assets to Pay for the Damage.
Shoot the Looters
Use Water Cannons with Green Dye to mark the Troublemakers ( so that idetification afterwards will be easy).

Come down Hard on any Rioters and Looters

Build more prisons and make everyone do HARD LABOUR, so that they DREAD Prison..

I agree completely with all of your solutions and they should do them. If you think about whats going on in the world today with millions starving, countrys at war, millions losing their homes and cant afford to live anymore. England is a great country but everyone is having hard times right now and these rioters are causing so much pointless damage ruining businesses and putting even more people out of work..and they think what their is going to change anything? the only thing thats going to change is peoples lives being made more harder than they already are.

Its complete stupidity!. If this was happening around my area I would be so angry and probably go outside to see just how tough they think they are..the police dont have enough power anymore the government needs to stand up and realise that just standing at the end of the street with a riot shield isnt going to cut it or deter people from doing it and they need to give the police more power and let them crack a few skulls!. Make these people see that what their doing is wrong and it wont be tollerated make an example out of a few of them and the rest will think twice.

I say if people smash windows, vandalise buildings, go looting then those people have clearly broken the law and in my eyes forfeit their rights to be treated like everyone else. The government needs to protect innocent people and businesses and if that means cracking a few skulls and breaking a few legs and noses then so be it!. I would!.
