Tyre fitter jailed after throwing e-cigarette at asylum hotel
Some more court results to bring you this time from Manchester where a tyre fitter who pleaded guilty to violent disorder that took place at a hotel for asylum seekers in Newton Heath has been jailed for 26 months.
Lynden Parker, 26, was part of a mob of people on 31 July who threw bricks and glass bottles at the hotel, as well as an e-cigarette thrown by Parker.
A passing bus with ethnic minority passengers onboard was also surrounded and attacked, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Passing sentence, Judge Patrick Field KC said Parker appeared to have “been motivated by deeply unpleasant, ignorant and possibly extremist racist views” and brought “terror and disorder into this city”.
“By your presence as part of a mob and throwing that missile, you were encouraging and spurring on others to behave in a similar way,” the Judge Field added.
