Crowd attacks police in village
Police were attacked by a crowd of about 30 to 40 youths in a County Tyrone village on Saturday night.
A police patrol had responded to reports of youths letting off fireworks in a dangerous manner in Carrickmore when they were attacked.
Fireworks and other missiles were thrown at the officers and a burning barricade was also built by the youths, some of whom were wearing balaclavas.
There were a number of other incidents in the village over Halloween night.
Officers who stopped a car near the local high school arrested three men for possession of an offensive weapon, possession of an imitation firearm, possession of fireworks without a licence and going equipped for theft.
They were later released pending further enquiries.
Shortly before 0300 GMT on Sunday, police arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of driving while unfit after a tractor crashed into three cars.
Police are also appealing for information about vandalism at a quarry near the village which happened on Saturday night or Sunday morning.
Vandals started up a mechanical digger at the Mullanmore Road premises and damaged gates and other property, as well as the digger.
