Protesters gathered outside a hotel in Portsmouth after false rumours circulated that a coach carrying migrants had arrived at the site.

A group entered the hotel, where Pakistani cricketers were staying. The cricketers had been mistaken for migrants, according to the supplied information.

The incident centred on the mistaken belief that migrants had been brought to the hotel by coach. The source material states that the rumour was false, but does not provide further details about how it began or how widely it spread.

The hotel has not been named in the supplied material, and no details have been provided about the number of protesters, the number of cricketers involved, or whether police or hotel staff intervened.

The latest known position is that the gathering followed incorrect information about the arrival of migrants, and that those staying at the hotel were Pakistani cricketers rather than migrants.
