Sinn Féin councillor Tierna Cunningham has condemned an attack in which a Protestant pensioner's home was attacked by stone throwers at Whitewell Road/White City interface and said the local community does not want to see a return to interface tensions.
"We called to see the pensioner and she was understandably very upset by the attack," she said.
"The message is loud and clear - this has to be totally and utterly condemned.
“These actions are not being carried out on behalf of the Whitewell community. There is a lot of work being done on the ground to bring an end to this."
The attack on the pensioner comes after a Catholic teenager was beaten up by a gang from White City in the early hours of Saturday morning. The 18-year old was walking up the road at 12.30am when he was set upon by three males.
