'Danny Tommo' faces police probe after slashing dinghy in Channel
Police are investigating footage of Daniel Thomas slashing an inflatable dinghy while a rescue worker was aboard, as 100,000 viewers watched online.
- On Tuesday, September 22, Hampshire Police launched an investigation into far-right activist Daniel Thomas after footage surfaced showing him slashing a migrant dinghy in the English Channel.
- Livestreaming the act, Thomas, leader of the Patriot Platform, tracked asylum seekers and ignored requests from a French rescue vessel to move a mile away during its rescue mission.
- Around 60 migrants spent more than 33 hours at sea; Thomas, previously convicted of kidnapping in 2016, shouted at rescuers while stabbing the side of the inflatable dinghy.
- Following the gathering in Gosport, police diverted the migrants to Dover early Wednesday; officers arrested six people for assaulting an emergency worker and aggravated trespass.
- Charities have branded the footage 'violent and dangerous,' while police continue inquiries into both the slashing incident and the disorder that occurred in Gosport.
