Assistant Chief Constable Will Kerr, and Chief Superintendent George Clarke (District Commander A District) hold a press conference at Antrim Road PSNI Station regarding two successive nights of rioting in Belfast. Assistant Chief Constable Will Kerr held a press conference following two nights of rioting in North Belfast. Around sixty police officers were injured and seven have been hospitalised. In the run-up to the loyalist Ulster Convenant parade on 29 September, he said: "Northern Ireland cannot afford an eleventh hour solution." He also added that violence on this level cannot continue without the very real risk that someone will be killed. On Monday night, petrol bombs, bricks, fireworks and stones were thrown at police. A van was hijacked and pushed into police lines, while a bus was also hijacked and set on fire. Two police officers were knocked unconscious by thrown missiles and another suffered a broken arm. ACC Kerr said he did not believe the violence was officially sanctioned by any loyalist paramilitary groups. But he said members of these groups had been involved in the trouble. ACC Kerr said "we cannot afford to wait and we cannot have night after night of violence on our streets." He called on politicians to "sort this out, and sort it out now, " ahead of the planned Covenant parade on the 29th September, where tensions are already running high
