A street stabbing allegedly involving an asylum seeker in Belfast has reportedly led to widespread anger and vehicles being set alight. An alleged incident in north Belfast on Monday saw a man in his 40s seriously hurt, leading to the arrest of a 30-year-old Sudanese man, but independent verification is lacking. Unverified reports suggest Northern Ireland's political figures and Prime Minister Keir Starmer appealed for peace and cautioned against promoting hatred.
