East Belfast: adolescente arrestato per i disordini di domenica

Teen charged over police attack

East Belfast

A teenager has been charged in connection with an attack on police in east Belfast.

Police were attacked with a paint bomb and masonry in the St Matthew’s Court area on Sunday evening.

The objects were thrown but did not hit police and there were no reports of injuries.

A 16-year-old was later arrested in the Mountforde Court area.

He was charged with criminal damage and disorderly behaviour and due in court on Monday.

Over the weekend police said they seized over 350 glass bottles and six tins of paint.

During the past week, police dealt with serious disorder in east Belfast which left a teenager and four police officers injured.

Chief Inspector David Moore, area commander for east Belfast added: “A dedicated team is trawling CCTV footage from the various nights of disorder and where identifications are made, these will be followed by arrests.

“I am pleased to say that it was relatively calm over the weekend.

“Additional police were in the area, which has had an impact – but obviously this is at a cost to other areas of policing.”
