Elderly couple targeted in sectarian attack
An elderly protestant couple have been left terrified after what police are describing as a sectarian attack at their home in north Belfast.
On Sunday night a number of youths smashed several windows of their car outside their house in Workman Avenue on the Shankhill Road.
It is understood the youths came from the nationalist side of the Springfield Road through the gate at the peace line and into the area.
Local community worker Gerald Solinas has condemned the attack.
“I got a phone call from a number of residents to say a group of individuals dressed in black and black hooded tops had come through the gate in Workman Avenue and attacked the houses especially the car outside number six,” he said.
“They put bottles through both passenger windows, the elderly gentleman came out of his house were they began to taunt him calling him sectarian names.”
