Police have been attacked while responding to disturbances involving around 30 young people in east Belfast.

The incident at the Byrson Street and Pitt Park interface was picked up by CCTV operators last night.

When the PSNI responded, youths ran from the area after throwing stones and bricks at officers.

Subsequently, a number of objects that had been used as weapons were found nearby, including a baseball bat and iron bar.

Officers say CCTV footage will be reviewed to identify those involved.
