An investigation is ongoing after a group of Newry Pride organisers were attacked.
It happened on Margaret Street as the five men were leaving the Pride Ball early on Sunday.
Newry Pride organiser Rory Rafferty said three drunk young men shouted homophobic abuse.
It's understood they threw objects at the group before attacking them.
Mr Rafferty told Q Radio staff at nearby bars raised the alarm:
