Newry: nove arresti dopo disordini

Nine arrested in city disturbance

Police have arrested nine people and recovered a suspected gun during a disturbance in Newry.

Psni: strada chiusa - road closedA PSNI spokeswoman said officers are still at the scene of what she described as an “ongoing public order situation”.

Police responded to reports of fighting in the Dublin Road area of the city at about 1620 BST on Monday.

A suspected firearm was recovered during the operation and traffic diversions have been put in place.

It’s understood the fighting was among a group of foreign nationals.

SDLP assembly member Dominic Bradley praised the “swift action” of the police.

“I have no doubt that had police not arrived in a prompt and timely fashion then someone could have been seriously injured or even worse someone could have been killed,” he said.
