The force said cars were stolen and set on fire, motorbikes were being ridden erratically and bricks were thrown at officers, while wheelie bins and cars were used to block off the road.
A police vehicle's windscreen was smashed, it added.
A video shared on social media appeared to show a Fiat 500 reversing at speed along the road with its boot open, as another car followed it.
Supt Marcus Noden said there had been "no further incidents" since the unrest earlier but officers had "robust plans in place should any further incidents arise in the area".
He added: "We are aware of speculation online that this incident is linked to immigration. This is categorically incorrect.
"This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated and we took robust and appropriate action.
"A large number of officers will be remaining in the area overnight as a precaution."
Those arrested include:
- A boy, 16, has been arrested on suspicion of theft and public order offences
- A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and drug possession
- Two more men – aged 18 and 19 – were arrested on suspicion of possessing a weapon
A dispersal order remains in place until 14:00 BST on Thursday.
