A family have escaped injury following a petrol-bomb attack on a house in north Belfast at the weekend.
A petrol bomb was thrown at the property at Somerdale Park off the Crumlin Road at around 11pm on Sunday.
The occupants, two adults and four children who were in the house at the time, were uninjured. Although one of the children, a 13-year-old boy, was in the room when a window was smashed.
Scorch damage was also caused to the front of the house where the device landed.
