A Sudanese man was due to appear in court in Northern Ireland Wednesday over a brutal knife attack captured on video that triggered a night of violence by anti-immigration protesters. Demonstrators torched buildings and vehicles, and blocked roads in Belfast on Tuesday evening, a day after the stabbing, allegedly by a refugee originally from Sudan, shocked the United Kingdom.
