Belfast disorder: Court told PSNI receive ‘daily’ race hate reports

Objecting to bail, a police officer told the court McCallister had been observed on CCTV throwing a bottle towards a passing bus and speaking to masked youths who were seen afterwards attacking a café.

The officer told the court that while public disorder may have calmed, police are still “receiving daily reports of hate incidents” in which properties and individuals are being attacked.

The PSNI officer said that during the disorder, three Belfast businesses had been destroyed, and that one had apartments above it which saw 42 people evacuated.

It was heard that police also believe there is a risk of McCallister offending further.

The court was told he has no criminal record but had received a fixed penalty notice for disorderly behaviour.
