More than one hundred people have been detained in a specialized police operation in Sofia last night, the Sofia Metropolitan Directorate of Interior said.
Yesterday afternoon, the Ministry of Interior increased the presence of police and gendarmerie in the capital due to several cases of fights between Bulgarians and migrants and a fight in the refugee centre in Ovcha Kupel residential district. Among the detainees is a 16-year-old person who led the group of Bulgarians who attacked British students of Pakistani descent in central Sofia. He is known to police and will be charged with robbery as belongings were taken from the victims.

Patrols of the police and gendarmerie will be deployed in the most vulnerable areas, Miroslav Danailov added.
