Man Arrested After Charity Office Attacked In North Belfast
A man in his 40s has been arrested after he threw a brick through the window of a charity office in north Belfast.
The windows of the PIPS charity building on the Antrim Road were smashed in the incident on Wednesday night.
The man is believed to have been injured after the brick bounced back at him and hit him on the head.
The suspect is being treated in hospital for a head injury.
PIPS made an appeal for help to replace the glass and it is now open for business.
Alliance North Belfast Councillor Nuala McAllister said: "It is incredibly disappointing someone felt the need to target such a vital organisation which provides support for so many.
"I utterly condemn those behind the attack and I know the entire North Belfast community will join me in those sentiments. It is baffling someone would attack an office offering these services."
