Local youths threw bottles at residents in south Belfast last night who had gathered to protest against attacks on immigrant families in the area.

The anti-racism protest was arranged by residents in response to a spate of attacks on the homes of immigrants living in the area.

A group of youths leaving a bar made Nazi salutes at the demonstrators and threw bottles at them before being chased away.

Nobody was injured in the incident.
