A petrol bomb has been thrown at a mosque in Newtownards, County Down, in what police are treating as a racially-motivated hate crime.

Cars were also set alight in Tavanagh Street and Sandhurst Gardens in Belfast.

All the incidents are being as racially-motivated hate crimes.

They follow a week of sporadic disorder which saw rioters attack police at various sites in Belfast and several members of the public reported they had been assaulted.
