Southport Mosque imam Ibrahim Hussein 'drained' after 'vicious' attack

'Terrified' imam trapped in Southport mosque for hours as rioters attacked said he feared they would 'burn the place down' with him inside - as he praises 'humbling' response from locals who repaired damage and brought flowers today

The violent protests followed hundreds of people taking part in a peaceful vigil for the stabbing victims outside Southport's Atkinson arts venue, with many in tears as they laid flowers and cards of remembrance.
