On Tuesday, Belfast, in Northern Ireland, protests erupted in clashes as anti-immigration groups took to the streets after the arrest of a Sudanese asylum seeker for a knife attack, the clip of which went viral.
Now, The Sun has identified the victim of the attack as Stephen Ogilvie, citing a neighbor who “heard Stephen was the victim. However, as of now, authorities have not confirmed the identity of the victim. The report also provided a photo of Ogilvie after the attack which showed minor injuries around his eyes.
The incident took place on Belfast’s Shankill Road in broad daylight. A video of the incident was recorded and shared on social media, which caught the attention of major national and global far-right figures. Among them was British far-right figure James Robinson, who posted the video on X and called on local far-right groups to protest.
Elon Musk also amplified the video, reposting it alongside a list of locations in the city where the protests were slated to take place.
