Two people arrested following gathering of people with 'opposing views' in Chatham
One was alleged to have shouted racial abuse and another made homophobic comments to a police officer.
Last night, a number of people with opposing views gathered at a location on Maidstone Road, in Chatham.
It follows unrest across the country in the past week.
Kent Police officers were in attendance to prevent any crime or disorder and arrested two people over the course of the evening – both on suspicion of public order offences after one was alleged to have shouted racial abuse and another made homophobic comments to a police officer.
No serious disorder was reported and there were no injuries.
The policing minister, Dame Diana Johnson, says high numbers of police and quick justice are the reasons disorder calmed last night.
