Good, we must drive them out…. Houses set ablaze during Belfast attack protests 09 June 2026 10:47pm BST At least three houses and a Middle Eastern supermarket have been set ablaze in Belfast in the wake of Monday’s knife attack. Videos posted online show masked protesters taking to the city’s streets after a Sudanese asylum seeker was charged with attempted murder over the stabbing, which took place on Monday night. The 30-year-old is also charged with possession of an article with a blade or point in a public place and threats to kill. He is due to appear at Belfast magistrates’ court on Wednesday. The injured man, a resident of the area in his 40s, is being treated in hospital, where his condition is described as serious. The Telegraph has geolocated three house fires in the north west of the city on Oakley Street, Legann Street and the Crumlin Road respectively. Footage on Sky News showed infants being carried out of neighbouring homes as flames crackled inside the houses. Protesters also attempted to set the Sham Supermarket, a Middle Eastern shop, alight on Donegal Road just south of the city centre. Several vehicles, including a Glider bus on the Newtownards Road, were set on fire in east Belfast on Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day, police chiefs and political leaders called for calm as they attempted to quell the anger in response to the stabbing. Footage shared on social media – which is too graphic to publish – appeared to show the knifeman pinning the man to the ground before repeatedly stabbing him in the head. The injured man, a resident of the area in his 40s, is being treated in hospital, where his condition is described as serious. The attack has been condemned across the political spectrum in Northern Ireland and beyond, with Sir Keir Starmer describing it as “sickening”.
