Belfast police arrested the victim, a white Belfast native, of a three-day-old stabbing while allegedly coddling the Sudanese assailant, at least initially. This, at least, is the internet legend going around.
Mob violence was triggered after authorities charged Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old Sudanese man, with attempted murder in the afore-mentioned stabbing attack, prompting calls from anti-immigrant activists for protests amid heightened tensions in the United Kingdom over immigration.
