The Telegraph:

Police in Bristol are hunting a mob who toppled a 125-year-old statue of the slave trader, Edward Colston, before dumping it in the harbour during a Black Lives Matter march.

The incident came as an estimated 10,000 people gathered in the city to demonstrate against the killing in the United States in police custody of the unarmed black man, George Floyd.

After marching to the statue, which has been at the centre of a long running debate in Bristol, the protestors attached ropes to the bronze figure before pulling it from its stone pedestal.
