A 13-year-old boy has been arrested after police were attacked with petrol bombs and masonry in Derry last night.<\/p>\n
The PSNI said an investigation was under way to identify those involved in the disorder in the Bishop Street area.<\/p>\n
Police said there had been a number of incidents of antisocial behaviour in the Bishop Street, The Fountain and Nailors Row areas in the past week.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson said a number of people, believed to be youths, had been involved with some wearing masks.<\/p>\n
Police received a report at around 5.30pm yesterday that a number of masked youths were gathered in the area.<\/p>\n
A PSNI spokesperson said: “Bishop Street was closed temporarily to deal with the disorder, causing disruption and fear yet again to the local communities.<\/p>\n
“A number of glass bottles were thrown, with fireworks also set off and petrol bombs and masonry thrown at police vehicles.<\/p>\n
“A 13-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour and has since been released on bail to allow for further police enquiries.<\/p>\n
“An investigation is under way to identify all those involved, and we will take action against anyone identified as committing offences.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 13-year-old boy has been arrested after police were attacked with petrol bombs and masonry in Derry last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408613,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[9,10,13,14,6,11,12,15,16,5,7,8,65,66,67],"class_list":{"0":"post-470946","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-featured-news","11":"tag-featurednews","12":"tag-headlines","13":"tag-latest-news","14":"tag-latestnews","15":"tag-main-news","16":"tag-mainnews","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-top-stories","19":"tag-topstories","20":"tag-world","21":"tag-world-news","22":"tag-worldnews"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116526699352462442","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
