Police are currently dealing with an incident in Ballycastle, north Antrim. 

It's understood a man was stabbed in the Leyland Court area early this morning. 

Ambulance personnel were called to the scene shortly after 8am and the man was taken to Causeway Hospital for treatment. 

The PSNI says two men have been arrested. 

There are no further details. 

Meanwhile local MLA Cara McShane says she's disappointed to hear of yet another anti-social incident. 

"I understand a man has been stabbed and we hope he makes a full recovery. 

"This type of behaviour is reprehensible, people in this community do not want to see this type of behaviour in Ballycastle. 

"This anti-social element which is concentrated within a particular area in the town must stop. 

"People must bring information to the police to ensure those responsible are brought to justice."
