Police Officer Injured In South Belfast Disturbances
A police officer has been injured after a group of youths threw missiles at police during trouble linked to the loyalist flag protests on Sunday night in south Belfast.
The trouble flared in the Donegall Road, Sandy Row area from 8pm to 10pm.
Protestors attacked police with bricks and bottles and also burned bins on the road.
One man was arrested.
Alliance South Belfast MLA Anna Lo said: "Everybody must unequivocally condemn this trouble. The blame for these disturbances lies solely with the protesters.
"The St Patrick's day celebrations were a great success, so I am disappointed that a tiny minority were intent on trying to ruin the day.
"I would like to again offer my thanks to the police officers who put themselves in danger to protect the public. My thoughts go out to the officer who was injured during this trouble. I hope they will be able to make a full and swift recovery.
"If anybody has any information about this trouble then I would urge them to contact the police."
