Police in north Belfast have come under attack by a 30-strong gang who slashed their tyres and rammed a patrol car.
Six patrol vehicles were damaged when police entered the Ballysillan area to recover a stolen motorcycle.
They were set upon by a gang of 30 youths who threw a petrol bomb, setting alight a car and van at around 8 p.m. yesterday.
A fire crew was called to deal with the blaze while the youths slashed the tyres of five patrol vehicles and rammed a sixth.
Police said no one were injured in the trouble, which lasted two hours.
