A Sudanese man has been charged in Belfast following a stabbing incident. His court appearance came after violent anti-immigrant protests across the city, where vehicles and houses were set ablaze.
A 30-year-old Sudanese man, Hadi Alodid, appeared before a judge in Belfast on Wednesday, June 10th, following a stabbing attack two days prior. Alodid was charged with attempted murder, possession of a bladed weapon in public, and making death threats. He was remanded in custody until a further hearing scheduled for July 8th.
