LONDON (AP) U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer strongly condemned an attack Sunday on a hotel housing asylum seekers that saw at least 10 police officers injured, one seriously, describing it as far-right thuggery.

In a statement from 10 Downing Street on Sunday afternoon, the prime minister vowed that the authorities will do whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice and that justice will be swift.

Starmers statement came as more violence broke out across the country in the wake of a stabbing rampage at a dance class that left three girls dead and many more wounded.

I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves, he said. This is not a protest, it is organized, violent thuggery and it has no place on our streets or online.

Starmer was speaking after another day of far-right violence, which was particularly acute in the north of England town of Rotherham where police struggled to hold back hundreds of rioters who sought to break into a Holiday Inn Express hotel being used as accommodation for asylum-seekers.
