The father of a man murdered while trying to defend businesses from looters said his son was "trying to help the community".



Haroon Jahan, 21, died alongside two brothers after being hit by a car on Dudley Road in the Winson Green area of Birmingham in the early hours of this morning.
The two other victims have been named locally as Shezad Ali and Abdul Musavir.
Haroon's father Tariq said: "I heard a thud, ran round and saw three people on the ground."
My face was covered in blood, my hands were covered in blood.
Victim's father
"My instinct was to help the three people. I did not know who they were, who had been injured.
"I helped the first man and somebody told me my son was lying behind me so I started CPR on my own son.
"My face was covered in blood, my hands were covered in blood."
Resident Mohammed Abdullah was driving down the street when the incident happened.
"I saw two cars hit a number of people, who flew high up in the air", he said.
"I was driving directly behind them - I saw a silhouette of two bodies going up in the air and landing down".
At a news conference, Chief Constable of West Midlands Police Chris Sims, said one man had been arrested for murder "because the information we have would support that a car was deliberately driven".
Mr Sims appealed for more information from the public and revealed that Prime Minister David Cameron will be visiting the area later today.
Mr Sims said he was did not want a single incident to lead to "distrust" and "violence" between different communities
