Fire crews were attacked after being lured to west Belfast by a hoax call early today. Youths hurled bricks and bottles at the fire crews who answered a 3.40am call to a house fire on the Springfield Road.
When they arrived they discovered there was no fire and the call had been a hoax. However a number of windows had been broken in the unoccupied house. An 18-year-old youth was arrested for riotous assembly and later released pending reports.
