Revolting protesters were seen ‘defecating at the feet of police officers’ during the Bristol riots last night.
An evening of violence in the city saw 20 police officers hurt, including one with collapsed lung.
Seven people have so far been arrested following the ugly clashes.
As Bristol was left picking up the pieces after chaotic scenes of violence and disorder, new photos have emerged from the 'Kill the Bill' protest.
Images taken at the scene and circulating on social media show protesters crouching at the feet of shielded police officers and beginning to defecate.
Bristol Live also photographed a woman urinating on a police officer's foot.
It comes after the protest against the Police and Crime Bill saw turned into a violent night of rioting.
Bridewell Police Station was under siege for hours as police had to call in back-up from neighbouring forces as they tried to restore order.
Fireworks were thrown and at least one police van was burnt out, with others scrawled with graffiti.
Protesters also smashed the window of a police station.
They managed to get up onto the roof of the first floor and rained down missiles on the police, who lined up to defend the entrance of the station.
Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees called the actions of the rioters ‘pathetic’ and labelled them ‘politically illiterate’.
Speaking on TalkRADIO, he said: “It’s pathetic, well it’s worse than pathetic. It’s also politically illiterate.
“We’re doing the real job in this city of trying to tackle inequality, feed our children, work on domestic violence, mental health.
“It’s just selfish, self indulgent and self-centred behaviour that’s all about them living out their fantasy of being revolutionaries.”
Thousands had been rallying against a new police bill that would give officers more powers to deal with non-violent protests.
On Twitter, the Avon and Somerset Constabulary mounted section said it had been a tough night for officers.
The force said: "After some very upsetting scenes in Bristol this evening all six horses and their riders are still on duty but safe.
"Thank you to everyone for your concern. It’s been a very long shift."
