Man charged over knife attack as bus and homes destroyed in NI race riot chaos

Northern Ireland has seen serious race riots for the third year in a row. Masked men staged violent protests in number of areas, but the trouble was concentrated in the greater Belfast area, with homes set alight off the Crumlin Road and in east Belfast. A Glider bus was set alight on the Newtownards Road and a police car was burned in Portadown. 

The disorder followed an attempted murder involving a knife in north Belfast on Monday night – a 30-year-old Sudanese man has been charged.  

The Belfast Telegraph’s Kevin Scott was on the ground in Belfast and Liam Tunney was in court.
