A number of missiles were launched by police officers in Northern Ireland due to public disruption in Ballymena, Antrimna.
These uprisings follow a protest against a rape case on Monday.
Northern Ireland police services reported damage to a number of real estate. “We urge everyone to stay calm and act with responsibility. Violence and disorder only put people at risk,” said Sue Stein.
“Our priority is to keep the community safe, and I urge everyone to work with us to bring peace to the area as soon as possible.”
Social media films represent the flowers of fire and smoke near what appears to be residential buildings, with police presence on the scene. Another clip seems to show that a masked man is throwing an object into police pickups that a crowd was looking at.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Balimna in response to a rape case, including two teenage boys.
Police accused teenagers who were not identifiable because of their age, after investigating serious sexual assault on a teenage girl in the Terrace Cloonavon area. They appeared in the court of Clarene’s judiciary early Monday.
Local media reported that people were initially gathering calmly to support the girl’s family, but later in today’s several houses were attacked by masked young people, who are being kicked in the doors.
“I was completely frightened by the annoying scenes in Ballymena yesterday evening, during which PSNI agents were wounded, the inhabitants were terrified and damaged.”
“There is no place in our society for such a disorder and there is no justification for it. I ask those involved to take their actions seriously and to retreat from this behavior before someone gets seriously injured or worse.”
North Antrim, Jim Alter, linked violence to increased tensions of migration in Ballymena.
He said: “There have been concerns about the strong scale of immigration to the city in Ballymena, and this could be a factor in a completely peaceful protest.
“All of this is distinguished from the unwanted violence that was followed at the time, and it is obvious that the minority of the peaceful population that is willing to use to visit violence that was not wanted or guaranteed, so the scenes we saw,” he said.
“Seeing the scenes of violence on the streets of Ballymena is very uncomfortable.”
Mr Alistr said tensions in the city “for a considerable time” are under construction.
The parliamentarian said she had spoken to the family of a girl who was allegedly victim of rape, who did not want to see violent scenes.
“Unfortunately, the narrative is diverted, and has been deviated by those who are mistakenly and stupid, and made the story something otherwise it should be,” he said.
“My message is that violence should be stopped. There are concerns there, I am sure to know them, I hear them, and now there must be a period of peace and justice that must go its way.”
Officers have advised drivers and pedestrians to refrain from the clonavon road until prior notice.
