"The public suffer and are at risk when police are attacked", that's from Junior Minister Megan Fearon.

The Newry and Armagh MLA has condemned two ramming attacks on officers that left six injured on Sunday.

Around 3:30am in the morning a white Berlingo van was involved in the first attack.

Gardai notified the PSNI of the vehicle which came across the border to Crossmaglen.

A dark-coloured Audi was used in the second attack at around 5am in the morning.

It was heading towards Crossmaglen on the Dundalk Road.

Police have said six officers and three police vehicles are now off work and out of service because of these attacks.

They're asking anyone with information about the drivers of these vehicles or the attacks to contact them by dialling 101.
