Rioting in Hartlepool tonight

Was over the Headland earlier for a run. Stopped for a beer once done and bumped into a bloke I know. He’d gone there to avoid the chaos in the Town Centre. Said there was riot police all over.
 
There is another video out there that has him giving it large to the camera just before this, cue the "5 minute later" slightly french voice over. Always a dodgy place to stand next to the police at the front of a mini disturbance, either you crazy or stupid.
The 5 minutes later is directly from the SpongeBob SquarePants. He is a character who makes those idiots seem even more like idiots.
 
Nothing on the BBC News website or Gazettelive about this. How do folk know this is happening?
Northern Echo have mentioned it and have pics

Poolie mail has probably gone to bed
Gazette isn’t a real newspaper
