Police have issued further footage of 18 people wanted over disorder in Greater Manchester following the Southport stabbings.

A number of riots took place across England after misinformation was spread online over the killing of three young girls in Southport, Merseyside, on 29 July.

Greater Manchester Police has released film which shows missiles being launched at officers, including a plank of wood in Manchester's Piccadilly Gardens and bricks and bottles being thrown at them in Newton Heath as well as an attack on a bus driver.

The force has said it has so far identified 124 suspects, made 122 arrests leading to 102 charges, with 60 offenders convicted in connection with riots in the region.
