Sam McBride assaulted as he questions protesters in east Belfast

Belfast Telegraph’s Sam McBride went to East Belfast to ask people blocking a road – albeit peacefully – why they were protesting. That led to him being assaulted, challenged to a fight, intimidated and sworn at.

The fallout from last week’s riots continues with 35 arrests, and 23 people charged.

Police have described the events as “inexcusable lawlessness”.

Sam McBride joined Ciarán Dunbar.
