The PSNI said it believed the attack on the house and the slashing of the tyres were linked and were treated as a sectarian-motivated hate crime.
“The Police Service condemns all sectarian-motivated hate crimes, and any subsequent criminal damage caused to property.
“Our officers will continue to provide a visible presence within local communities and are always there to help prevent and investigate sectarian hate crimes.”
Last month, Assistant Chief Constable Davy Beck told the Policing Board that he believed UDA members were involved in sectarian intimidation in north Belfast over the summer.
Spotlight has also spoken to a woman from one of several Catholic families who fled a new housing development in the Lower Oldpark area of north Belfast this summer due to sectarian intimidation.
She also said that her temporary accommodation, a two-bedroom flat, is unsuitable for her and her four children.
It has been provided by Clanmil Housing Association which said it “utterly condemned” the intimidation and attacks on people in the Lower Oldpark.
It added: “Our immediate response was to offer temporary accommodation to people who wanted to leave. There is an acute shortage of housing in Northern Ireland and we offered any suitable accommodation that we had available in the local area.
“We acknowledge these homes do not meet the long-term needs of these families.”
