There were renewed far-Right protests in Germany on Thursday night as violent attacks against migrants spread across the east of the country.

Around 800 protestors gathered in Chemnitz, the scene of neo-Nazi riots earlier in the week following the suspected killing of a man by two immigrants.

Protestors faced off against police outside a political meeting where regional officials sought to calm residents but the situation appeared peaceful as night fell.

Hundreds of miles to the north, a Syrian man was seriously injured after he was attacked and beaten with an iron chain by three Germans in a sign the violence is spreading.
