More than 200 far-right extremists have been arrested after they went on a rampage during a xenophobic rally in the German city of Leipzig, setting cars on fire and smashing windows.
Many of the extremists were already known to police as football hooligans and wrought chaos on Monday in an area known to be left-leaning, while thousands of supporters of the anti-migrant Pegida movement held an anti-refugee demonstration elsewhere in the city, authorities said.

As thousands rallied to express their anger, a group of hooligans broke away and smashed windows, burned cars and rubbish bins, and let off pyrotechnics that set the floor of a building on fire.
In return, leftwing radicals vandalised a bus that had been chartered by the hooligans, according to police who said a total of 57 offences were committed on Monday night.

Police said groups linked to Cologne’s hooligan scene had used social media to organise gatherings in the inner city on Sunday evening, launching a spate of attacks against Pakistani, Syrian and African men.
