Lo shocked at South Belfast fight

Alliance South Belfast MLA, Anna Lo, has condemned those involved in a sectarian fight between 40 people on Ormeau Bridge in South Belfast in the early hours of Saturday morning. The Police had to separate the rival groups. One man was stabbed. There were also knife incidents in East and North Belfast overnight.

Anna Lo MLA said: “I am shocked that this sectarian fight has taken place in South Belfast. Those who took part should be ashamed of themselves.

“I would appeal for calm in the area and urge people not to get involved in such behaviour. This sort of incident can do damage to community relations in the area but I hope we will not see a repeat of such activity.

“If anybody has any information about this incident then I would urge them to contact the Police.”
