Police fired water cannons at protesters in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during a second consecutive night of unrest following a stabbing that left a man seriously injured. Protesters set small fires, hurled bricks, rocks, and bottles at police, wore masks, tore bricks from walls outside homes, smashed sidewalks with sledgehammers, and used sections of a dismantled picket fence for cover. According to the Guardian, police used water cannons to disperse a crowd of about 300 people. The Guardian also reported that protesters burned a truck during the unrest. According to France24, a 30-year-old man from Sudan appeared in a Belfast court charged with attempted murder in connection with the stabbing.
