“The actions in Southport tonight will involve many people who do not live in the Merseyside area or care about the people of Merseyside.”
He added: “There has been much speculation and hypothesis around the status of a 17-year-old male who is currently in police custody and some individuals are using this to bring violence and disorder to our streets.
“We have already said that the person arrested was born in the UK and speculation helps nobody at this time.
“Our officers should not have to face this, but we will be there tonight to ensure the safety of the local community who have suffered enough, and will arrest those involved in criminal behaviour.
“If you have any information on this incident or saw what happened, please contact our social media desk on Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’.”
