Police in Northern Ireland say a 13-year-old boy is arrested following incidents in Londonderry (Derry) involving attacks on police vehicles. Multiple outlets report that masked youths gather on a street and throw fireworks and petrol bombs, along with masonry and other items such as bottles, at officers or police vehicles during unrest. The Irish Times and other sources describe petrol bombs and fireworks being thrown during disruption, while the Mirror and Sky News add that officers are attacked and that masonry is among the items used. The Belfast Telegraph provides similar coverage, naming the boy as arrested after petrol bomb attacks. The Daily Record (Scotland) also reports the arrest in connection with anti-social behaviour incidents in Derry and the alleged throwing of petrol bombs at police.
PSNI states the boy is arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour. The reports do not provide information on injuries, the extent of damage, or the wider circumstances of the unrest beyond the described attacks and alleged involvement of masked youths.
