In Southall, west London, hundreds of Sikh men stood guard outside their temple and patrolled the streets on Tuesday night.

"We want to show the rioters we are here together," the temple's president, Himmat Singh Sohi, told Sky News.

Reports have suggested that some people protected their homes armed with just pots and pans, while others formed lines outside to stop looters breaking in.

Police in Birmingham were struggling to contain swelling anger within the Asian community after a hit-and-run by suspected rioters killed three young men, two of them brothers.


Despite appeals for calm from senior officers, young Asian men vowed to come out and defend their streets once more following an attack which has plunged a community into mourning – and awoken fury about what they believe to be a lack of police officers on their streets at a time of widespread unrest.

Witnesses in the Winson Green area of Birmingham described the moment when Haroon Jahan, 21, and two brothers, Abdul Mussavir, 31, and Shahzad Ali, 30, were struck by a car travelling at high speed in the early hours of yesterday morning.
