Meanwhile, at Plymouth Crown Court, 29-year-old Lucas Ormond Skeaping was sentenced to 18 months for violent disorder after throwing missiles and knocking a teenage boy off his bike with a motorbike helmet during a protest in Plymouth on Monday.
Judge Robert Linford said "you came to protest and to do so peacefully but things rapidly deteriorated".
Prosecutor Lewis Aldous said the defendant had a GoPro camera with him which captured him throwing a full 500ml bottle of Coca Cola and a rock.
Edward Bailey, for Ormond Skeaping, said the defendant was "against fascism", "abhors any form of racism" and had lost his employment at a bicycle company.
