Belfast protesters set bus ablaze after stabbing attack

Protesters in Belfast set a bus on fire on June 9, 2026 after police charged a Sudanese man over a knife attack that left one person with serious neck and head wounds. Footage shows masked youths gathered around the bus as it was set on fire. Hundreds of anti-immigrant protesters took to the streets of Belfast on June 9 to condemn the knife attack. The incident, which is currently not being treated as terrorism, comes at a time of heightened tensions in Britain following the murder of a student who was handcuffed by police as he lay dying from stab wounds after his killer, a Sikh man, falsely alleged a racist attack.
