Homes attacked during 'racially motivated' unrest in Ballymena
The Guardian
|June 11, 2025
Fifteen police officers were injured and several homes attacked during what has been called a "mob fury" of racially motivated disturbances in the Northern Irish town of Ballymena.
Members of a crowd threw petrol bombs, fireworks, heavy masonry and bricks at police and tried to burn the homes of a handful of foreign families in the County Antrim town on Monday night.
The unrest erupted after a vigil for a teenage girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by two 14-year-old boys. The pair had appeared in court on Monday charged with attempted rape. A Romanian interpreter read them the charges.
A police statement said yesterday: "A number of masked individuals then broke away from the vigil and began to build barricades, stockpiling missiles and attacking properties. Elements of the crowd then turned on to police and attacked officers with petrol bombs and masonry."
