LOYALIST rioters attacked an old people’s home on Wednesday in the third night of rioting in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

They wrecked the entrance of sheltered housing on the Woodvale Road and hurled bottles and golf balls directly at the premises instead of police because their aim was so bad, according to the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

Traffic lights were destroyed, burning rubbish piled in the middle of the road and footpaths broken up outside family homes.
