Man arrested in connection with attempted murder

Police in Armagh have arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder.

The incident happened at around 8pm last night in the Creevroe area of the town.

A man was later taken to hospital with injuries to his upper arm.

Meanwhile in County Down, a 17-year-old has been attacked twice as he walked through Bangor.

In the first incident, a gingered haired female attacked the youth at around 1.30am in the High Street area of the town. However, she fled when he fought back to defend himself.

A short time later, the teenager was attacked for a second time, by a gang of up to five men on the Victoria Road. He was left with injuries to his face and mouth.

Police have appealed for anyone who may have witnessed either incident to contact them on 0845 600 8000, or on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
