Stabbing attack suspect appears in court in Belfast as authorities address mounting anti-immigrant violence. Hadi Alodid, 30, a Sudanese national, was charged with attempted murder after a knife attack that blinded a man in one eye and caused multiple injuries. He appeared by video in Belfast Magistrates’ Court, refused legal representation, and did not enter a plea. Investigators said he was found at the scene with a kitchen knife and later admitted statements to hospital staff. The incident triggered protests and property damage, with police deploying hundreds of officers and transit services curtailed. Officials condemned the violence and emphasized that migrants contribute to the community.
