LONDON, ENGLAND, June 7, 2001: At least one man was stabbed and five others were arrested in the northern English city of Bradford on Saturday as Asians and whites clashed before a planned demonstration by right-wing extremists. Political marches had been banned in Bradford earlier this week in hopes of preventing another of the race riots seen across northern England in recent months, but members of the rightist National Front had said they planned to go ahead with a rally. There had been a number of violent clashes after 200 to 300 mainly Asian youths broke through lines of riot police, with shop windows being broken and bricks and bottles thrown.
