According to the Kent police, two to three firebombs were thrown. One person was slightly injured. “The perpetrator has been identified and located,” it said. Police could not confirm whether the suspect is dead. According to media reports, he would have taken his own life. The investigation is still ongoing.
The attack came after nearly a thousand migrants arrived in Britain on Saturday after crossing the Channel. This puts the counter at almost 40,000 migrants who have made the dangerous crossing in boats since the beginning of the year.
“We are aware of an incident at Western Jet Foil in Dover and the police are present,” said a spokesman for the Home Office. “It would be inappropriate to comment further now.”
