Missiles thrown at officers in Newtownabbey as disorder is also reported in Londonderry
Riot police have deployed water cannons against demonstrators who lit fires and threw projectiles at police to the north of Belfast.
Footage showed dozens of men dressed all in black and wearing face coverings gathering on Antrim Road in Newtownabbey, Co Antrim, and throwing objects at a line of eight police vehicles.
Two water cannons, located near the Sandyknowes roundabout in Newtownabbey, were fired by police towards demonstrators who had lit fires in the street.
Trafficwatch NI said Sandyknowes roundabout is “currently closed in all approaches due to an ongoing incident”.
In a statement, police say that missiles are being thrown at officers who have now deployed the water cannon in an attempt to maintain public order.
It marks the second night of disturbances following a knife attack in north Belfast on Monday.
Elsewhere, disorder has been reported by police in Londonderry.
Police have issued advice for motorists to avoid the Ardmore Road at the Church Brae junction of the city due to items being set alight.
More than 100 people attended an anti-immigration protest at the front of Parliament Buildings in the Stormont estate in Belfast.
The protestors walked up the hill and gathered at the Edward Carson statue.
The crowd dispersed after the demonstration, which passed without incident.
A large crowd of nearly 200 is at a similar protest outside the university in Coleraine.
