"Firefighters and riot police worked to douse the flames amid the remnants of the days rioting in Belfast on Tuesday, with a palpable sense of shock and unease among locals on the smouldering city streets. This comes after unrest spiraled out of control following the arrest of a Sudanese refugee in connection with a stabbing incident that left a man seriously injured. Footage shows Northern Ireland and Union flags prominently displayed as dusk approaches, with the burnt out shell of vehicles seen with firefighters and riot police deployed as darkness fell. On Tuesday, demonstrations against unchecked migration spread around the city, resulting in vandalism, with barricades set alight by masked protesters and reported attacks on properties and businesses owned by minority ethnic groups. Buses and other vehicles were seen torched in the city, before riot police moved in to disperse the demonstrators. Earlier, footage posted on social media showed what was later framed as an 'attempted beheading', with the knife-wielding attacker slashing at the head and neck of the victim. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the attack as 'sickening'. After announcing that the 30-year old Sudanese national had been arrested and charged with attempted murder, the police noted that there is currently no evidence that Monday's attack was terrorism-related, after a backlash on social media had resulted in calls for protests on the streets of Belfast. The incident comes amid heightened tensions over asylum and migration in the UK, following a string of attacks and unrest outside so-called 'migrant hotels'."
