Chaos has broken out for a second night in Northern Ireland as hundreds take to the streets to protest after two teenage boys appeared in court over alleged attempted rape.
Trouble first erupted yesterday evening as a demonstration by around 2,500 people in the Harryville area of Ballymena spiralled out of control.
The gathering was organised after a court appearance that day where two 14-year-olds were charged with attempted oral rape of a teenage girl in the town on June 7.
Both defendants required a Romanian interpreter in court, with police branding the riots 'racist thuggery'.
A third arrest was made in relation to the sexual assault last night as a 28-year-old man was taken in for questioning and then released.
