The man stabbed in Belfast, identified as Stephen Ogilvie, is out of an induced coma and is improving, according to reports quoting his family and a senior Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) figure. RTE and other outlets say the family says he may lose sight in his right eye, despite earlier severe injuries.

One outlet says 12 police officers were injured, 16 arrests were made, and two people were charged following Wednesday night’s disturbances connected to the broader unrest, though specific details of charges are not consistent across the provided summaries.
