PSNI call for calm after night of unrest in Belfast

Police are appealing for calm after a night of unrest in Belfast.

The disorder followed a stabbing on Monday night, which left a man seriously injured.

Houses, cars and a Belfast Glider bus were set on fire, while public order officers were deployed to deal with disturbances in a number of areas.

A 30-year-old Sudanese national has since been charged with attempted murder, possession of a blade in a public place, and threats to kill.

He's due in court later today.
