Police in Northern Ireland have appealed for calm after officers were attacked and cars were set on fire during a second night of unrest. Northern Ireland police said on Sunday that Unionist protesters threw 30 petrol bombs at officers and torched cars during a night of “disorder” on Saturday in Newtownabbey, a suburb of northern Belfast. Three cars were also hijacked and set on fire. North Area Commander Chief Superintendent Davy Beck in a statement released on Sunday said about 30 protesters, some in masks, had gathered on Saturday evening.More Related News
