A man has admitted starting a fire during rioting at a hotel where more than 200 asylum seekers were staying.
Mason Lowe, 27, was part of the violent disorder that erupted outside Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, near Rotherham, on 4 August.
More than 60 police officers were injured as rioters smashed windows and set fires around the building.
Lowe of Lowfield Road, Bolton-upon-Dearne, pleaded guilty at Sheffield Crown Court to arson with intent to endanger life, having previously admitted a charge of violent disorder.
