Youths swarm Belfast street as 'masonry' thrown at police and bins set on fire

Police in west Belfast arrested three men after violent disorder broke out on Saturday evening, resulting in an officer being injured and 11 PSNI vehicles being damaged. The incident occurred on Stewartstown Road and Falls Road, where youths threw masonry at police, set bins and cars ablaze, and gathered in large numbers. Officers described the behavior as 'disgraceful,' noting that the disturbance followed a morning operation targeting dangerous riding by scrambler bikes and e-bikes. One man was hospitalized after a serious assault involving iron bars. Chief Inspector Kelly Gibson emphasized the need to track down those responsible and warned of ongoing targeted patrols in the area.
