It is understood that children were in the vicinity and on the bonfire at the time.
A petrol bomb attack close to the Adam Street bonfire in North Belfast on Thursday evening is being treated as a hate crime.
"We are also grateful for the support of the public as we work to ensure the area remains calm and peaceful." “This was at least the third petrol bomb attack on this bonfire in the last two months. We demand an end to these sinister sectarian attacks on the Tigers Bay community and on its cultural expression.”
"I would urge everyone, both in that area and across Northern Ireland, not to respond to such attempts. The enjoyment of celebrations over the 11th and 12th July period should not be destroyed by the intolerance of others and attempts to provoke trouble."Unfortunately there are some elements within our society who want to provoke this trouble, but I would urge cool heads at this time.
