Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Belfast on Tuesday night after a Sudanese asylum seeke was charged with a brutal knife attack that left a local man with serious injuries.
The protests erupted after footage of Monday night’s attack circulated widely online, sparking further anger against mass immigration.
Police deployed armored vehicles as crowds gathered in several parts of the city.
Some vehicles were set on fire during the unrest, including a bus, while clashes broke out between protesters and officers.
There were also reports of protesters breaking into migrant houses and setting them ablaze.
The victim, a man in his 40s, suffered severe injuries to his eyes as well as slash wounds to his face and back. Police later recovered a kitchen knife from the scene.
Video footage showed members of the public confronting the attacker before police arrived. Senior officers later credited those bystanders with helping save the victim’s life.
The suspect, identified as a 30-year-old Sudanese national, has been charged with attempted murder, possession of a bladed article in a public place, and making threats to kill.
He is due to appear before Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
Police said the man was granted leave to remain in the United Kingdom in September 2023 after claiming asylum.
He had arrived in Belfast from Dublin earlier that year after flying into Ireland from Paris.
If the woman in the first clip is correct, the handicapped man who was the victim of a near-beheading in Belfast has lost an eye completely and is blind in the other. He was already very hard of hearing. The victim, a Scottish man named Stephen Ogilvie, was helping these two Sudanese move when they jumped him. Only one was captured, allegedly.
The people of Belfast, Catholic and Protestant, are united, and mostly Protestant men are in the streets. Tommy Robinson is trying to unite them with his group to save the British Isles from the lunatics in power who did this to them. They have had enough of massive migration.
