Police have confirmed six people were arrested after anti-migrant protesters clashed with emergency services at a seaside port.
Flares were let off as protesters gathered at Haslar Marina in Gosport, Hampshire on Sunday evening amid reports that a small boat carrying migrants was about to dock in the area.
Footage shared online appeared to show fences being erected in front of emergency vehicles as police faced a volley of abuse.
In other videos posted online, demonstrators yelled ‘deport the f*****g lot’ as they jostled with a line of officers.
The Home Office has since confirmed up to 149 migrants arrived in the UK after the dinghy was followed by French rescue vessels from Normandy, and brought in by the RNLI.
A government spokesperson said: "The Border Security Command works around the clock to protect our border. We have established contingency plans to make sure we can securely disembark, check and process all small boat arrivals."
Four coaches were spotted taking the migrants away from Portsmouth Harbour. The Home Office has confirmed they will be processed in Kent. The spokesperson added: "Migrants will be transported to short term holding facilities in Kent where they will be processed as normal and undergo stringent health, security and biometric checks."
