Water cannon unleashed as Belfast riots continue

Masked rioters clashed with police near a migrant hotel on the second night of disorder in Belfast.

Protesters threw bricks and bottles at officers as they attempted to march towards the Chimney Corner Hotel in Newtonabbey, on the northern outskirts of the city, on Wednesday.

The violent unrest was triggered by a knife attack on Monday night allegedly carried out by a Sudanese asylum seeker.
