Sinn Feín councillor Conor Maskey said it is lucky no nationalist residents were killed or injured when a mob from Tigers Bay went on the rampage attacking cars and houses at the weekend.
The mob of around 15 youths smashed eight car windscreens and wing mirrors in Atlantic Avenue in the early hours of Saturday morning. They then smashed the front windows of a house in Newington Avenue before fleeing back to Tigers Bay.
"The fact that a group of people from a loyalist area felt that it would be ok to come into Atlantic Avenue and vandalise cars and property is a disgrace," he said.
"It is ironic that one of the co chairs of the residents' association who is trying his best to do positive work for the district had his car attacked.
"One thing that is missing here is leadership from unionist political representatives on this matter. It has been stated before that there is great work going on in an inter-community level by community workers but political leadership is needed."
