FIERY protests erupted in Belfast last night with homes and cars being torched after the horror “attempted beheading” that rocked the nation.
LOTS OF PICTURES AT LINK............
Furious demonstrators set alight at least three houses and several vehicles including cars and a bus, following outrage over the attack, in which a man in his 40s suffered injuries to his eyes, neck and back.
Yobs in balaclavas torched cars parked on residential streets and driveways in the Northern Irish capital, with at least three houses catching fire as a result.
Fire engines rushed to east Belfast, where residents were evacuated from the area while crews tackled the flames.
Earlier in the evening, a Glider bus was set alight in the east of the city, forcing operator Translink to suspend its services until further notice.
Many of the protesters wore masks and dark tracksuits with their hoods up while several were seen throwing red coloured smoke flares.
Posting a photo of the burnt-out vehicle, Peter McReynolds, a Member of Northern Ireland’s Legislative Assembly who represents the Alliance party, said: “This serves no one, changes nothing and damages our community.”
Elsewhere in the city, cars and a tractor were engulfed by flames as officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) set up barricades and organised fleets of riot vans.
Thugs, including kids as young as ten, were seen hurling glass bottles and stones at cops.
Following the violence, Deliveroo paused food deliveries in some areas of the city.
The PSNI issued a Police Dispersal Order and warned protesters that force may be used.
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said: “Sporadic pockets of disorder have broken out in a number of locations across Northern Ireland, including incidents in which a number of vehicles have been set on fire.
“We are urging everyone to remain calm, act responsibly, and avoid any activity that could place themselves or others at risk.
“Officers are on the ground, working alongside partner agencies, responding to incidents as they arise and helping to keep people safe.
“We are again appealing for calm and ask all voices of influence within local communities to encourage peaceful protest and discourage any involvement in violence or disorder.”
First Minister Michelle O’Neill took to X to share her horror at the violence that has taken place in reaction to the attack.
“Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice.
“This has nothing to do with community. This is outright thuggery. The attack in North Belfast was heinous and wrong.
“But there are dangerous attempts to exploit that to target and attack innocent people who are simply trying to live, work and raise their families here.
“Racism, intimidation and violence are wrong wherever they occur. There can be no excuse and no justification for these attacks tonight. No one wants to see this on our streets and I again appeal for calm.”
Prior to the violence, she urged the public not to associate the actions of one individual with wider minority ethnic communities.
Ms O’Neil said: “We need to say no to racism, no to hatred, no to sectarianism that is out there in our society.”
Meanwhile in London, protesters gathered in Parliament Square carrying union jack flags and obstructing the roads.
Harrowing footage of the incident was widely shared online and appears to show a knifeman slashing the victim’s neck and face with a blade as onlookers yell “get off”.
One hero bystander, a young dad named Maitiu Mág Tighearnán, stepped in with a hurling stick to confront the attacker.
The shocking attack sparked fears of unrest across Northern Ireland, with demonstrations planned in a number of areas.
Police have confirmed the suspect is 30-years-old and has been charged with attempted murder, possession of an article with a blade or point in a public place and threats to kill.
Cops have not yet named the man they have charged who is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates’ Court later today.

Ireland is gone too.
Burn, Baby, Burn!
I had to look it up….
Yob (slang) is a British term for a rude, aggressive, or uncultured young man or hooligan. In extended or plural forms, it often refers to rowdy groups disrupting public spaces.
People in the pictures are wearing coats and hoodies. It must be cold there.........
“A hero bystander stepped in with a hurling stick”
A Wilson Combat .45 ACP would have been a lot more effective.
No guns allowed in the UK...............Although a hurling stick makes for a good shillelagh!................
...and they never will because even naming the suspect will lead to charges of racism and singling out "oppressed" minorities.
I swear these Muzzies still think it's the 5th Century.
I just hope it’s falafel and kabob shops and not historic pubs!
Has the King given a medal to the invader yet?
As long as the Moslem population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Moslems. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Moslems approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. Any non-Moslem action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Moslems), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Moslem, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in Bangladesh — Moslem 83%, Egypt — Moslem 90%, Gaza —Moslem 98.7%, Indonesia — Moslem 86.1./0, Iran — Moslem 98%, Iraq —Moslem 97%, Jordan — Moslem 92%
100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Moslem, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Moslem 100%, Saudi Arabia — Moslem 100%, Somalia —Moslem 100%, Yemen --Moslem 100%.
The only thing that worked before was kill, convert or deport them. That is the only path to peace.
At first I thought this rioting and arson was an "attention getter" aimed at elected officials, urging them to deal with the violent problem they'd been so eager to welcome.
Now I suspect it's more along the lines of "Hey! Don't interfere with our rights to behead you people on a whim!" sort of riot/arson.
They also called them thugs. They’re just fed up Irish citizens whose government is trying to eradicate them.
If their not lynching government officials and aliens, they’re doing it wrong.
mostly peaceful right?
Now you know why Rosie O’Dungheap came back to the US.
She just paid for plastic surgery and doesn’t want her head chopped off!
Protestants? Catholics? Or...?
She doesn’t have to worry. Muslims avoid pork at all costs..............
