Racially Motivated Hate Crime In South Belfast
Police are investigating a racially motivated hate crime that occurred in the Roden Street area of south Belfast on Monday, 4th November.
At approximately 7:40pm, a large piece of masonry was hurled through the window of a family home, causing significant damage and injuring a young child and their mother. The incident has left the family deeply traumatised.
Police are treating this as a hate crime and are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
District Commander, Superintendent Dornan said: "Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own home. Those responsible for such racist violence bring nothing but shame on their local community. In contrast, the victims of this attack are working hard for their local community within the Health Service.
"There will be people living locally who know who was involved. I am appealing directly to them to stand up against this hate by providing any and all information that will help us to stop this and bring those responsible to justice."
