08/08/11(Mon)18:32 No.414835310.47pm: Barry Neild is now in Dalston:
We've
detoured to Dalston where a bus was set on fire in shacklewell lane
earlier. The single deck bus is now cordoned off and there doesn't seem
to be much damage, but the incident has clearly shaken the large Turkish
community here. Many shopkeepers are on the street talking about how
they chased away the gang of youths behind the bus fire.
"We beat
up four of them quite badly and they ran off," one man, who wouldn't
give his name, said. Another said: "this is not justice, coming here and
trying to attack us." Notably several businesses are still open ascot
usual here, unlike other violence hit areas.
We've just watched a mob of locals chase a gang of hoodies down the main road, with police vans on full siren in pursuit.
