'Whilst dealing with this incident officers came under attack from a crowd of young people'
A teenager is reported to have "nearly collided" with a man who was carrying his young child on Saturday evening.
At around 5.40pm last night, June 17, police responded to reports of scramblers being "driven erratically" in the Stewartstown Road area of West Belfast. They say a 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of a number of driving offences after "nearly colliding with a man who was carrying his young child"."He was interviewed by police and subsequently released on bail to allow for further police enquiries to be conducted," Inspector Hamilton said.
"Whilst dealing with this incident officers came under attack from a crowd of young people throwing stones and bottles and the window of a police vehicle was smashed. "I would appeal to parents and those in the community to use their influence to prevent any repeat of this behaviour."For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage here and sign up to our daily newsletter here
