BELFAST RIOTS LIVE | WATER CANNON Deployed As Anti-Migrant Unrest Explodes After Attack

Описание: BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Riot police deployed water cannons for a second consecutive night in Belfast as violent anti-immigration clashes escalated following a brutal knife attack described by prosecutors as an 'attempted beheading.' The unrest was triggered by the arrest of 30-year-old Sudanese asylum seeker Hadi Alodid, who appeared in Belfast Magistrates’ Court charged with the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie. Ogilvie suffered severe injuries to his neck, back, and face, and was blinded in his left eye. Masked rioters, fueled by graphic footage of the attack shared on social media, clashed with police in Newtownabbey and north Belfast, throwing petrol bombs, bricks, and bottles, and setting vehicles, bins, and homes ablaze. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer branded the initial stabbing 'sickening' and 'horrific,' while Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn condemned the rioters as 'masked thugs.' As authorities deploy an additional 200 officers to contain the spreading disorder, the victim's family has made a desperate appeal for calm, urging the public to stop sharing false information online and highlighting the valuable contribution of migrants to society.
