He was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The gruesome video of Alodid kneeling atop the bloodied victim and repeatedly cutting at him with a knife quickly went viral and ignited widespread outrage.
The attack sparked several nights of anti-immigration riots across Belfast and other parts of Northern Ireland, with multiple residential buildings, shops, and vehicles set ablaze.
