South #Yorkshire 's Mayor Oliver Coppard says he is "utterly appalled by the violence" in #Rotherham today.

"What we’re seeing is not protest, it is brutal thuggery directed against some of the most vulnerable people in our society", he says in a statement.

"The people carrying out these attacks do not represent the beautiful, brilliant place and people I know. We will come after those carrying out this violence with the full force of the law."
