ONLINE threats directed at Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon have been reported to the police.
The SDLP MLA told at the weekend how she and her staff have been left feeling "intimidated" and "frightened" after anti-lockdown protesters targeted her office last week.
Four people attended the premises on Belfast's Antrim Road on October 11 and delivered a document critical of how authorities have handled the coronavirus pandemic.
Ms Mallon said she intends to carry out a review of security at her office in the wake of the incident.
"It's very upsetting, it's a very frightening experience, particularly for my staff, It makes me anxious," she said.
Coverage of the issue prompted more online abuse and threats aimed at the North Belfast MLA.
An SDLP spokesperson confirmed that online threats targeting the infrastructure minister had been reported to the PSNI.
Details of last week's incident emerged as BBC broadcaster Stephen Nolan claimed on social media that he and his 80-year-old mother were subjected to anti-vaccine "abuse" in Belfast at the weekend.
