Summary
Six men in their 20s and 30s were charged after Tuesday night's violent disorder in Southampton, and all were remanded in custody ahead of a court appearance later.
The new charges lift the total to 11 after protests erupted following the release of police bodycam footage showing 18-year-old Henry Nowak in handcuffs after he had been stabbed.
Five of the men were charged with violent disorder, while Andrew Summerhayes, 38, of Romsey also faces two counts of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
The unrest followed the murder case in which Vickrum Digwa, 23, was jailed for life on Monday over Nowak's killing.
