Belfast disorder: bricks thrown at police and bins set on fire as trouble continues
The PSNI said it had to deal with a number of 'race-related hate crime'
Masked men attacked police with bricks while a car and a number of wheelie bins were set on fire during another night of trouble in Belfast.
The PSNI said it had to deal with a number of "race-related hate crime, incidents and disorder".
Incidents included damage to property including a car being set on fire and a window of a house being broken in Benburb Street.
Windows of a house were also smashed in Kilburn Street, both in south Belfast.
Meanwhile, in east Belfast a number of bins were set on fire in Castlereagh Street and police were attacked by a group of masked men who threw bricks and masonry at officers in Flora Street.
No officers were injured
Assistant Chief Constable Melanie Jones said: “Our officers dealt with a fifth night of incidents such as criminal damage, disorder and arson.
“Those who are intent on causing disorder or committing offences, need to think of the consequences of their actions.
“Yesterday we issued six images of people we want to speak to in relation to this recent disorder. One individual has since been identified and we thank the public for their assistance with this. Please look at these images and let us know if you can identify any of these individuals.
“I am also appealing to the public directly, do not let these criminals hide in your community. Anyone with any information which can help identify any of these individuals should contact us. We have set up a Major Incident Public Portal for people to submit information, images and footage. Photos and footage, including CCTV, mobile phone or dash-cam footage, can be shared with police through the Major Incident Public Portal at Public Portal (mipp.police.uk).”
