Violent scenes were witnessed in Northern Ireland again on Wednesday as tensions remain high in the wake of an apparent attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast, allegedly at the hands of a Sudanese asylum seeker.
Hordes of black balaclava masked men clashed with riot officers of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) on Wednesday in areas such as the Belfast suburb of Newtownabbey, where a lorry truck was set on fire by agitators. The truck is believed to have been a municipal “gully emptier” used to clean street drainage systems.

A car was also set on fire on Antrim Road in the area, while fires were also lit at the Sandyknowes roundabout, theBelfast Telegraphreported.
Nearby, police were forced to deploy a water cannon to push back a large crowd attempting to break into a Newtownabbey hotel, likely over at least rumours of migrants being housed inside.

Police came under fire from masked men throwing bricks and other makeshift missiles on multiple occasions.
Meanwhile, another residential property, this time in the York Park area of north Belfast, came under attack on Wednesday.
It comes amid reports of a “hit list” of homes and other targets being spread on social media. On Tuesday, there were reports that homes housing migrants had come under attack from rioters.
The PSNI said in astatementthat sharing the address hit list shared on social media is “totally unacceptable”.
