Epsom protest turns violent

The unrest in Surrey follows reports that a woman in her 20s was assaulted outside a church after leaving a local nightclub.

Police have hit out at 'wholly inaccurate information' spreading online, which claimed that nearby hotels were housing asylum seekers involved in the crime.

Authorities clarified that there is no evidence to suggest immigrants were responsible for the alleged attack.

The protest escalated into violence, requiring a significant police presence to restore order in the town center.
