Six people have been arrested and a dispersal order issued during protests and counter-protests outside a hotel used to house asylum seekers.
Greater Manchester Police said the order, which covers the area around the hotel on Wilmslow Road, Fallowfield, would remain in place until midnight.
The force said two people had been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences, and one person each was arrested on suspicion of theft of police equipment, assault and indecent exposure.
A further person was arrested from inside the hotel on suspicion of outraging public indecency during the protests.
