Rival protesters clash in Glasgow amid migration tensions (VIDEOS)

The demonstrations took place in Scotland following a stabbing attack allegedly involving a Sudanese asylum seeker

Anti-immigration and anti-racism protesters scuffled with police during rival demonstrations in Glasgow, Scotland, amid tensions fueled by a stabbing attack allegedly involving a Sudanese asylum seeker.

On Saturday, the NGO Stand Up to Racism held a rally in downtown Glasgow, with organizers calling on supporters to “reclaim the streets from the far right.” Participants carried Scottish and Palestinian flags and chanted, “Refugees are welcome here,” according to The Herald.

Around 70 counterprotesters arrived at the event, many dressed in black and wearing balaclavas.

As police sought to keep the rival groups apart, some anti-immigration demonstrators pushed against barriers and shoved officers. Some of their opponents also pushed police while attempting to break through the separation line.
