‘Tommy Robinson supporters’ broke anti-racism activist’s nose during brawl

She claimed she was also called a 'f****t.

A woman was left with a broken nose after she was allegedly beaten by a group of far-right Tommy Robinson supporters when a brawl broke out.

Shocking footage on social media shows anti-racist activist, Alice Edwards, being attacked on Thursday by at least three members believed to be the English Defence League founder’s supporters.

They faced off counter-demonstrators, who had rallied in Warrington, Cheshire, where Robinson, 36, had been campaigning to run as an MEP in the upcoming European Parliament elections.

In pictures posted on Facebook, Alice, 24, can be seen with bloody wounds and cuts all over her face.

She told the MirrorOnline that as well as a broken nose, she also suffered a broken finger and a cut on her head which needed stitches in hospital.

She said: ‘We were stood near a church and Tommy was stood there as well, and I just saw Tommy’s [supporter], I saw him push my friend, so I just went over and pushed him away from my friend and said “what are you doing?”

‘I got punched in the side of the head and stumbled away, and turned round and I had another one of Tommy’s hooligans running at me, swinging his arms at me.’

The pizza delivery driver added she was called a ‘f****t’ and claimed her friend had also been knocked unconscious by of one the attackers.

A spokesperson for Robinson said there is a ‘deliberate operation’ being carried out ‘to stop Tommy Robinson’s political campaign’.

Alice claimed she didn’t do anything to provoke the thugs besides standing in front of Robinson and calling him ‘Nazi scum’.

Cheshire Police said the second video had been reported to them and they were trying to establish how things got out of hand.

The brawl broke out shortly after Robinson had a milkshake thrown over him for the second time, while trying to get backers to vote for him on in the EU elections on May 23.

A separate video shows Danyaal Mahmud, 23, throwing the milkshake at the far-right activist after he allegedly taunted him with the question: ‘Do you think I’m racist?’

Robinson is then seen throwing at least three punches at him before others interfere to break up the pair.

Danyaal spoke to Asian Image, saying: ‘He just kept talking to me. I kept moving location. I was the only Asian guy there.

How was my man so casual ????

‘I said to him I do not wish to speak to you on or off camera. I just got annoyed with him. A milkshake ‘slipped’ out of my hand.’

Cheshire Police said on Thursday: ‘We are aware of an allegation of assault made following an incident in Bridge Street in Warrington this afternoon.

‘We are looking into the circumstances.’

A spokesperson for Robinson told Metro.co.uk there is ‘a deliberate and well-funded operation being conducted by agitators to stop Tommy Robinson’s political campaign’.

A statement said ‘Tommy is always happy to debate people who are his ideological opposites’ but he has been ‘provoked for two days’.

It added Robinson ‘encourages his supporters to remain peaceful in the face of adversity and report any mischief to the police’.
