I don't normally have trouble with the police when I attend incidents to take pictures, but today, I did...
Officers will sometimes ask for your name and what press outlet you are from, tell you to not get any faces in the pictures etc. Standard practice.
Had I not been in the company of friends during the time of the assault, the situation could have had much more severe consequences for me.
Anyone who may have witnessed the assault, or who may have footage, please contact police on 101, quoting reference 180 of 05/11/23."
A Belfast Telegraph journalist has been left “traumatised” after being assaulted on a night out.
