Stephen Ogilvie, the man seriously injured in a knife attack in North Belfast on Monday night, remains in hospital after sustaining severe injuries, including the loss of his left eye, according to multiple reports. His family issue updates on his condition and call for calm following unrest and riots that erupted across the city after footage of the attack circulated widely on social media. Several outlets report the family describe the disorder as unwelcome, and they reject the use of their tragedy to inflame tensions or “divide people.” They say they are “disgusted” by scenes of rioting in Belfast and urge the public not to target or attack others, including migrant communities. The family also call for peaceful responses, including “peaceful protest,” and emphasize that violence should stop. Some reports note concerns from doctors about his remaining eye, including that he is in an induced coma as they work to save it. Separately, one outlet says court details about the accused attacker emerge around the same time. Across coverage, the family’s central message remains that unrest is not acceptable and that the community should remain calm.
