Teenager stabbed in Derry Halloween attack

A mob of about 10 people attacked a teenager in Derry last night.

The incident occurred at around 10pm as Halloween celebrations in the city took place.

He was attacked in John Street, near a car-park close to Craigavon Bridge.

The victim was taken to hospital but his condition was not believed to be life threatening.

One man was arrested and was assisting police with their inquiries.

Meanwhile, in Belfast another 17-year-old sustained serious but not life threatening injuries during an assault in the loyalist Shankill Road.

The victim was dragged out of a hot food bar by a large crowd which had gathered there around 12.40am.

Another man was hurt during the incident, although the extent of his injuries is not yet known.

Police are questioning a 17-year-old.
