Belfast Knife Attack Suspect Appears in Court

Police say the 30-year-old suspect faces attempted murder and weapons charges after a video of the stabbing spread online and fueled disorder.

  • A 30-year-old Sudanese man will appear at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, charged with attempted murder following Monday's stabbing in North Belfast that left a victim in serious condition.
  • Police Service of Northern Ireland Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson stated there is no indication the Monday attack was terror-related, with video evidence captured near Kinnaird Avenue.
  • Demonstrations against immigration descended into disorder on Tuesday, with a masked group of about 100 people attacking houses on Newtownards Road and setting fire to vehicles, including a bus.
  • Condemning the violence as "outright thuggery," First Minister Michelle O'Neill and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly stated that targeting innocent families is "utterly wrong."
  • Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn warned the disorder damages communities, as Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service crews managed a "busy evening responding to a high volume of fire calls" across the Greater Belfast Area.
