The arrests were made in Castle Park when police said that a fight broke out.

Police said that they were subsequently attacked by a hostile crowd when investigating a disturbance. Four arrests were made and there were no reports of any injuries.

Later police were called to an incident on a Belfast-bound Bangor train following reports of fighting and damage to carriages. No arrests were made but police confirmed that a number of individuals were escorted from the train at Central Station.
