Derry: bimbo di 9 anni ferito nel quartiere protestante di Fountain

Device injures boy in Derry

A 9-year-old boy has been injured after a glass jar packed with nails struck him on the leg in Londonderry.

Polizia | Police | PSNIIt is understood the device, which police say contained no explosives, was thrown into the Fountain area of the city from the Bishop Street interface on Friday evening .

Residents reported hearing a loud bang, with one eye-witness describing seeing the child in distress.

The boy was treated in hospital but has since been released.

His father, who does not want to be named, has told UTV that his son could have been killed, and that those who threw the device need to be held accountable for their actions.

“They wouldn’t have had any idea who was on the other side of that wall and unfortunately my 9 year old was there.

“In my eyes it’s attempted murder because if those nails had gone right though him he would have been seriously injured or killed. My son now is seriously shaken up.”

He also said that other children could have been in the area at the time the coffee jar was thrown.
