Teens arrested after 'fight' in Belfast

Two teenagers have been arrested after an alleged fight in North Belfast on Sunday.

Police say they received a report of a number of young people fighting and throwing stones in the Oldpark Road area shortly after 6.10pm yesterday evening.

Chief Inspector Fox said when officers arrived, a number of young people "threw stones at the police car, breaking the rear window and causing damage to the bodywork".

"A policing operation was initiated and two males were subsequently arrested for riotous behaviour," Inspector Fox added.

"Both juveniles have since been released pending report to the Public Prosecution Service.

"I would urge parents to make sure they know where their children are and what they are doing and to talk to them about the danger of getting caught up in the moment and the possible criminal outcomes they could face if they are found committing any offence.

"I would ask anyone with any information about this incident to contact police on 101, quoting reference 1474 22/05/22 so we can work together to do something about it.

"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
