The PSNI has said calm has been restored following “serious disorder” in Ballymena last night.
Violence broke out shortly before 8pm, with petrol bombs and masonry thrown at officers and police vehicles over the course of several hours.
Police said a number of homes and businesses were also attacked.
Officer utilised water cannon in an attempt to disperse the crowds which had gathered in the Clonavon Terrace, North Road and Bridge Street areas last night.
Police also dealt with sporadic disorder in Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus with some incidents in north Belfast.
Over the course of the evening, some homes had windows broken while others had the doors kicked in. One had been set alight and been badly damaged.
A number of small fires burned close to the commercial centre of the town.
Masked youths had been roaming around the centre of town, some smashing paving slabs to make missiles to throw at police.
A number of baton rounds were also fired by police.
The PSNI asked members of the public to avoid the area around Clonavon Terrace, where there was rioting on Monday.
Riot police were deployed around the area, a day after serious unrest.
Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn said there is “no justification” for attacks on police officers or vandalism in Ballymena.
In a social media post, Mr Benn said: “The terrible scenes of civil disorder we have witnessed in Ballymena again this evening have no place in Northern Ireland.
“There is absolutely no justification for attacks on PSNI officers or for vandalism directed at people’s homes or property,” he added.
The PSNI has strongly condemned the disorder over the last two nights.
A 29-year-old man arrested on Monday night has since been charged with disorderly behaviour, attempted criminal damage and resisting police.
He is due to appear before Ballymena Magistrates’ Court today.
Police said the violence happened after a protest in Ballymena town centre linked to an alleged sexual assault.
