The incident was reported to Police on Friday (28th February) after the home of a young mother and her child in the Roden Street area of South Belfast was attacked.

 

Ms Bradshaw said: "I'm absolutely appalled by this latest attack on someone's home. This has clearly been done in order to intimidate this young mother and her child out of it. All political parties must condemn this attack. This attack represents the very worst of our society."

 

“The repeated hate-fuelled attacks we’re witnessing are deeply unsettling for minority ethnic communities both in Belfast, and right across Northern Ireland. People deserve to live free from the threat of violence and free from fear of attack.

 

"With the frequency of these attacks on the rise, it is crucial that all political parties come together not just to condemn these incidents but to be leaders in their constituencies and stand up for the marginalised and vulnerable.

 

"I would urge anyone with information to contact the PSNI on 101 or report it anonymously via Crimestoppers.”
