THE PSNI HAS confirmed that a man who was arrested during the Fleadh in Belfast was not carrying a knife. A number of inaccurate posts on social media had wrongly claimed that the man was in possession of a knife. “We can also confirm the man was not in possession of a knife, or any other object, as suggested within these unverified claims online,” said a PSNI spokesperson. The man remains in custody at this time, as PSNI enquiries continue into the circumstances of the earlier altercation. Meanwhile, the PSNI has urged the public “not to speculate online, which can cause unwanted and unnecessary concern within our communities”.
