Police have released images of people they would like to speak to after protestors threw objects and shouted racial abuse outside a hotel housing migrants.

A minority of the 200 people gathered outside the Potters International Hotel, in Aldershot, became involved in the disruption on Wednesday evening, Hampshire Constabulary said.

Objects were thrown and people were subject to racial abuse at around 6.45pm, the force said.

Although officers were quick to the scene and dispersed the group quickly, one police officer suffered a minor injury as a result of the disruption.

Police have now released images of a number of people they would like to speak to.

He was remanded to youth detention accommodation and will next appear in court in October.
