An attack on a house in south Belfast is being treated by police as a racially motivated hate crime.
Several windows were smashed at a house in the Donegall Pass area on Wednesday night when a number of bricks were thrown.
The occupant of the house was described as shaken, but not injured.
A PSNI spokeswoman said officers on patrol were flagged down at about 9.55pm by a member of the public reporting that bricks had been thrown at a house, smashing the front windows.

“Luckily, the resident who was inside at the time wasn’t injured but has been left shaken by their ordeal,” she said. “This type of act is unacceptable and we are treating this as a racially motivated hate crime.
“Inquiries are ongoing and I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the attack or to anyone with CCTV or other footage that could assist in identifying those responsible, to contact police on 101 quoting reference 1636 of 14/08/24.”
