U.K. leaders have called for calm after the arrest of a Sudanese man accused of a stabbing in Belfast sparked anti-immigration protests. Police said the victim, a man in his 40s, was seriously injured Monday. The suspect, 30, was charged with attempted murder. Authorities are investigating the motive but said the attack was not terrorism-related. Northern Ireland’s leaders urged against inciting hate, as protests were planned in response. The suspect was living in the U.K. on a visa granted in September. Police and politicians urged people not to share graphic images of the attack online.
