Night of violence in Belfast

PSNI officers in the North fired baton rounds at rioters last night as fresh trouble erupted in Belfast.

Petrol bombs, bricks, bottles and fireworks were hurled at officers during the stand-off in Ardoyne in north Belfast. A car was hijacked and set alight. Police water cannons were deployed.

The trouble followed a nationalist protest march held to coincide with an Orange Order parade through the sectarian interface following the July 12 commemorations.
