Releasing the images, a police spokesperson said they were individuals “we would like to speak to” in connection to an ongoing investigation over a number of incidents since August 3.

“Anyone who may be able to identify any of these individuals or provide any information about them such as their name, address or age is urged to contact detectives at Musgrave Police Station on 101,” they urged.

During a visit to Belfast on Monday afternoon, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer personally thanked officers who were injured during recent disorder, for their service.

At least 20 police officers were injured in a spate of violent incidents in early August in Northern Ireland, after anti-immigration protests.



Sir Keir Starmer also met representatives from minority ethnic communities who had been targeted in the violence with several businesses destroyed and a mosque attacked.

Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said there had been some “really near misses to very serious injuries”.
