BBCPolice came under attack during further disorder in south Belfast.
It followed a weekend of violence which saw businesses damaged after an anti-immigration protest in the city on Saturday.
On Monday night, riot teams were deployed to Sandy Row, close to a supermarket that was set on fire, as a petrol bomb and stones were thrown at officers.
Police had said it was dealing with “ongoing disorder” in the Donegall Road area and urged the public to avoid the area.
BBC News Ireland Correspondent Chris Page reported that about a dozen people were involved in the violence which is being directed towards several armoured police vehicles.
A number of officers in riot gear sealed off the street and a number of fires were lit in the area.
Earlier on Monday, councillors at a special Belfast City Council meeting passed a motion to provide financial support to businesses damaged during Saturday’s disorder.
The motion called for the council to establish a programme of financial assistance for those “impacted by racist criminal attacks”.
NI political leaders condemn violence
Political leaders, including the first and deputy first ministers, condemned the disorder which took place at the weekend.
Police had previously said three of its officers had been injured during clashes.
Earlier on Monday, four men were charged in relation to Saturday’s disorder.
Michelle O’Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly said there was “no justification” for racism, violence or intimidation, adding there should be a “zero tolerance approach” taken towards those responsible for damage.
Justice Minister Naomi Long defended the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s (PSNI) response to the disorder, saying that officers were dealing with a “challenging” and “sporadic” situation.
