All riot on the night

May Day passed off without major incident yesterday. In recent years, there had been a proliferation of rioting by left-wing anarchists, particularly in Kreuzberg. However, this year, as Tagesspiegel reports,

“One group of rioters smashed up a bus shelter. Another set fire to a wheelie bin and vandalised public phone boxes. Bottles and stones were thrown at police...who used pepper spray and made over 20 arrests.”

Sounds like a quiet Saturday night in Manchester.
