SOCIAL media is being flooded with anonymous calls for protests across Belfast tonight.

It comes after a violent attack in the Kinnaird area of North Belfast on Monday evening.

Police said a man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He remains in police custody.

The injured man, aged in his 40s, is in hospital where his condition is described as serious. The attack has left the man with significant injuries to his face, neck and back.

A poster circulating on social media is calling for protests on Tuesday night at 7pm, with road closures across the city including Falls Road, Lanark Way, Crumlin Road, Ardoyne roundabout and Shankill Road all mentioned.
