He continues to run closer to the camera patting his back in an attempt to control the flames. Wednesday night saw another evening of disorder in Belfast and across Northern Ireland following the horrific knife attack on Monday evening.after they were pelted with bricks and footage showed dozens of men dressed all in black and wearing face coverings taking wheelie bins from outside homes and lighting fires in them.
Following from the chaos that hit the streets on Tuesday evening, the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland stated disorder on the streets of Northern Ireland is an “act of self-harm” to communities. Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said: “This disorder is an insult to the victim of this assault, an insult to the members of the public who bravely stepped forward to save his life and the officers who rushed to the scene.
“The criminal justice system needs to take its course. Let that follow due process. A man has appeared in court today charged with this attempted murder and, separately, another man has been charged with riot following the scenes in Newtownabbey. I’d appeal to everyone in Northern Ireland to take control.
“If you have a niece, nephew, brother, sister or a member of your local sports club, if you’ve seen them at the disorder, stop them from coming out today. This has got to stop. We cannot have a society that allows this to happen.
" Wednesday's night action has been condemned by leaders, after fires were ignited at the Sandyknowles roundabout. Northern Ireland’s Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins said a second night of destruction and disruption “needs to be condemned in the strongest possible way”.
“These acts serve no one and only cause harm and fear within communities. It is disgraceful and disgusting.
“I utterly condemn the incident at my department’s depot in Sandyknowes and the further disruption we have seen with transport services suspended and businesses closing early.

Princess Anne Admits Hopes of Getting Round in One Piece at Montreal Olympics 50 Years AgoRare footage of Princess Anne preparing to compete in the 1976 Montreal Olympics has emerged, with the royal admitting she hoped to get round in one piece before she fell from her horse. The footage, taken shortly before Anne stepped out with the British equestrian team, captures the royal riding her beloved horse Goodwill around a race course in preparation. Anne, then 25, was also questioned by a reporter how she was feeling ahead of the pivotal sporting event in the Canadian city. The Princess Royal was watched at the summer Olympic Games by her mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who also opened the tournament as Queen of Canada, father Prince Philip, and three brothers Prince Charles, Andrew and Prince Edward. Delivering a speech at a dinner for the 1976 Olympic team, the Princess told guests - who are now in their 70s and 80s - that they all looked extremely well, adding that the milestone reunion does mark the passage of time just a little. Her former teammates were invited to a reception at Lansdowne House, a private members' club in London. Speaking of their shared memories of the Games, she said: I had a slight problem in that the bit I would like to remember, which is the cross country, I don't. But every now and again I see it and think oh ok. I suspect Goodwill remembers it, but I don't. Anne fell from her horse after he hit the 19th fence on the steeplechase course during the Montreal Olympics in 1976.
