The unrest, involving several hundred people, erupted following a peaceful march on Monday in support of a sexual assault victim’s family. Violence broke out that evening, with homes set ablaze and 15 officers injured, police said.
On Tuesday, officers deployed water cannons and plastic baton rounds to control the crowd.
Two 14-year-old boys have been charged in connection with the alleged assault; both appeared in court with a Romanian interpreter.
Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson condemned the “racially motivated disorder,” urging the public to reject any justification for the violence.
