| 2024-08-07 |
| [SkyNews] Rioters have taken to Belfast's streets for a second night with footage showing petrol bombs and missiles being thrown at police. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) warned the public to stay away from certain areas of the city on Monday night as they dealt with public disorder and violence. At least one police car was burned with several other fires blazing on Monday evening in the Sandy Row and Donegall Road areas in the southern part of Belfast. Around a dozen people wearing balaclavas and masks threw petrol bombs at PSNI vehicles as riot officers formed lines. Earlier, a planned anti-immigration protest at the Clayton Hotel failed to materialise. Belfast was one of several cities that saw anti-immigration riots on Saturday. Fireworks were thrown as police attempted to deal with a confrontation between anti-racist protesters and an anti-Islamic rally.
