On the Scene Footage: UK Rioting Spreads
August 10, 2011
All of the most viewed videos today in the United Kingdom are clips from the riots. The most-viewed video in the UK the past few days with over 1.5 million views is this clip of a Malaysian student -- later identified as Mohd Asyraf Haziq -- being helped up then mugged by some rioters. The BBC reports Haziq is currently recovering in a hospital. (Some adult language.)
Two of the other most popular clips include the volunteer cleanup effort and footage of a Sky News reporter questioning looters, both of which were said to be shot in the Clapham district of London.
Meanwhile, rioting continued in some areas yesterday, including in Manchester where a few of the videos below were reportedly shot. Below is a playlist of dramatic video from August 9th.
