Assistant Chief Constable Tony Rowlinson said: ‘We have been consistently clear that violence and criminal damage have no part in peaceful protest and we will investigate incidents like this thoroughly and take robust action against those responsible.
‘Clearly events on Sunday evening were not peaceful protest, rather violent public disorder, and this will not be tolerated as we work to keep our wider communities in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight safe.
‘I’d urge anyone who recognizes the six men pictured to contact us.
‘The reality of public order policing is that arrests at the time are not always possible, especially where evidence may need to be reviewed to clearly identify who is responsible for offenses.
‘During the disorder seven police officers were injured and treated at the scene, thankfully no-one was seriously injured. Our officers did not deserve to be assaulted as they worked incredibly diligently on Sunday to ensure the safety of everyone in the area.
‘Neither do they, or anyone from our partner agencies, deserve to be singled out online or subjected to abuse via social media. We will work with our colleagues across policing to address any online threats that are made.’
Anyone who believes they may recognize the six men pictured, or who may have information can call 101.
