Police deployed water cannon against protesters throwing bricks in Belfast on Wednesday (June 10), as anti-immigrant unrest sparked by a knife attack spread across Northern Ireland for a second consecutive day.

The violence erupted on Tuesday (June 9) after a video of the attack circulated online, with hundreds of masked protesters burning homes and vehicles in several locations.

A 30-year-old Sudanese man, Hadi Alodid, appeared in court on Wednesday charged with attempted murder and was remanded in custody. The victim, Stephen Ogilvie, lost an eye and suffered injuries to his face and back, the court heard.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violence in parliament, saying those involved would face "the full force of the law."
