NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Sudanese asylum seeker accused of blinding a Belfast man in one eye during a stabbing attack appeared in court Wednesday as anti-immigrant unrest spread across Northern Ireland.
Hadi Alodid, 30, was ordered to be held in jail after appearing by video in Belfast Magistrates’ Court, where prosecutors accused him of blinding Stephen Ogilvie in his left eye during Monday’s attack.
Alodid was charged with attempted murder, threatening to kill a radiographer and possessing a knife. He declined legal representation through an Arabic interpreter and did not enter a plea.
The attack, which occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. Monday in north Belfast and was captured in graphic video footage that quickly spread online, sparked outrage and fueled demonstrations that turned violent overnight. Police said Ogilvie, a man in his 40s, suffered serious injuries to his face, neck, back and eyes, and officers recovered what they believe was a kitchen knife from the scene.

Video circulating online appeared to show members of the public confronting the attacker, including one person wielding a hurling stick. PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson praised the bystanders as «heroic,» saying their intervention helped save the victim’s life.
Police said Alodid entered Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland in 2023, applied for asylum and was granted a five-year permit to remain. Authorities initially identified him as Somali before later correcting his nationality to Sudanese.
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said investigators had «no information to suggest that this was a terrorist-related incident» and were not seeking additional suspects.

Masked men set fire to several homes they believed housed immigrants following the incident. They also burned trash bins, torched a Belfast bus and threw objects at police officers. Firefighters rescued multiple people from burning homes.
Police said they had declared a critical incident and increased their presence across Northern Ireland amid concerns about further unrest.

«I’ve lived on my street for almost 10 years, I have a good relationship with my neighbors, but last night was a horrific one,» he told Reuters. «We don’t know what to do. I’m scared. Seeing this, I’m wondering if I’m next.»
First Minister Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Fein described the unrest as «thuggery.»
«Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice,» she said.

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly of the Democratic Unionist Party said that «taking frustration at the evil actions of a person out on those who had no part in it is utterly wrong.»
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the stabbing attack «sickening» and condemned violence targeting people because of their background.

«The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable,» Starmer wrote on X. «There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it.»

Some politicians said the stabbing should prompt a review of the open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, a highly sensitive issue because free movement across the border is a central pillar of the peace process that largely ended decades of violence known as «The Troubles.» The conflict involving Irish republican and British loyalist militants, as well as U.K. security forces, left nearly 3,600 people dead before the 1998 peace accord.
Much of Tuesday’s unrest took place in working-class areas where former paramilitary groups continue to wield influence.
HENRY NOWAK’S KILLING EXPOSES BRITAIN’S DANGEROUS TWO-TIER JUSTICE SYSTEM

Henry Nowak, who was White, was killed by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man who falsely claimed to police that he had been the victim of a racist assault by Nowak. Officers initially treated the wounded Nowak as a suspect before recognizing his injuries and attempting to save his life.

Digwa was convicted of murder and sentenced last week to life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years. The case has fueled debate about policing and race, and a protest following the killing turned violent, with some participants attacking officers with chairs and rocks. Several people were later charged with violent disorder.

FIRST ON FOX: Former Biden special counsel Jack Smith could face potential criminal prosecution after Republicans accused the ex-prosecutor of misleading Congress about the scope of his investigation into President Donald Trump.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, issued a criminal referral for Smith Wednesday, arguing newly released records contradict Smith’s testimony to his committee that he did not obtain or review lawmakers’ text messages during his multiple probes into President Donald Trump.
«All individuals have an obligation to comply with a duly authorized congressional inquiry. Mr. Smith, a former public servant, is no different,» Jordan wrote in a letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Wednesday. «Yet his testimony included intentionally false statements designed to obstruct the Committee’s oversight.
«His conduct can only be understood as an effort to thwart the Committee’s inquiry by intentionally making false statements and representations before Congress,» Jordan continued, adding that the Justice Department should examine whether Smith’s actions warrant criminal charges.

Jordan’s letter accused Smith of making false statements during a December deposition before the House Judiciary Committee. Specifically, Jordan argued that «responses provided by Mr. Smith gave the impression that neither Mr. Smith nor his team had access to the content of members’ privileged text messages.»
«We now know this to be false,» the letter adds.
The referral comes after Smith faced mounting scrutiny from Republicans over allegedly weaponizing the Justice Department and violating constitutional privacy protections during his investigations into alleged interference during the 2020 election and Trump’s handling of classified documents.
He has denied any wrongdoing.
And Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, blasted Jordan’s referral.
«This referral deliberately distorts and misstates the facts, including what questions the Republicans actually asked at Mr. Smith’s interview. The Republicans fault Mr. Smith for not reading the minds of congressional investigators and for not volunteering information they didn’t ask for. This is absurd. Mr. Smith may be telegenic but he is not telepathic,» Raskin said in a statement.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released documents last week showing Smith’s team read the text messages of 44 members of Congress from both parties and White House staff during its investigation.
Targeted lawmakers included Jordan and Grassley in addition to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine; House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La.; and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.
Trump officials affected included former Vice President Mike Pence, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, FBI Director Kash Patel and Ivanka Trump, among others in the president’s orbit during his first term.

Grassley’s office also found that Smith’s team appeared to violate investigative protocols by accessing text messages that had not been reviewed by a «filter team,» a safeguard designed to prevent investigators from accessing privileged information, according to the documents.
When Smith was asked by congressional investigators if he examined the contents of lawmakers’ text messages during his probe, he said, «no.»
He told the House Judiciary Committee his team only sought telephone toll records.
«Toll records were sought for historical telephone routing information, collected after calls had taken place, identifying the incoming and outgoing call numbers, the time of the calls and their duration,» Smith testified in December. «Toll records do not include the content of calls.»

The Justice Department told Fox News Digital when reached for comment, «The Department can confirm receipt of the criminal referral from the House Judiciary Committee and will investigate all evidence of criminal conduct.»
