Racially motivated riots targeting migrants erupt in Ballymena after teens arrested for attempted rape.
Violence flared for a second night in a Northern Irish town after “racially motivated” attacks following a peaceful protest over an alleged sexual assault.
Hundreds of protesters, many of them masked, took to the streets of Ballymena on Tuesday, throwing petrol bombs, bottles and masonry as police responded with water cannon.
There was a heavy police presence in one area of the town, about 30 miles (48km) northwest of Belfast, as protesters set fire to a car and barricades. Police also fired plastic baton rounds to disperse the crowds.
