An 18-year-old man is recovering this morning after being injured in a paramilitary-style punishment shooting in Derry.

The teenager was abducted from his home in Leafair Gardens, in the Shantallow area of the city, by a number of masked men who broke in shortly after midnight.

He was taken outside and shot once in each ankle.

Meanwhile, a 17-year-old woman has been charged in connection with an attack on PSNI officers in west Belfast over the weekend.

The teenager was one of four people arrested after the attack in the Moyard area of the city.

Police are still holding two men in connection with the attack, while a 23-year-old woman has been released without charge.
