Man arrested in connection with attempted murder of PSNI officers

A 33-year-old man has been arrested in North Belfast, in connection with the attempted murder of police officers in the Ardoyne area on Thursday.

More than 20 officers were injured when petrol bombs, bricks, stones and bottles were thrown at them amid significant disorder by both nationalist and loyalist protesters.

The PSNI's Chief Constable Matt Baggott said the violence, which broke out after an Orange Order parade last Thursday, was used as a cover for the attempted murder of police officers.
