Summary
Belfast Magistrates' Court remanded Hadi Alodid in custody for four weeks after charging him with attempted murder, knife possession and threatening to kill an NHS radiographer.
Stephen Ogilvy lost his left eye in Monday night's knife attack, the court heard, making the assault the trigger for wider unrest.
Videos mapped by BBC Verify showed masked men on Belfast streets, with shops and homes attacked and bins and buses set on fire.
The disorder spread beyond Belfast into other parts of Northern Ireland, widening the fallout from an attack that had already intensified debate over migration and security.
