Pregnant woman in shock after stone-throwing attack
Police in west Belfast have called on all those involved in stone-throwing attacks in the Westlink and Grosvenor Road area to stop what they are doing before someone is seriously hurt.
The call was made after a spate of incidents last night, the most serious of which involved a pregnant woman.
The woman's car had three windows smashed as it was parked outside the Royal Victoria Hospital. It is understood that the woman was not in the vehicle at the time. However when police were called to the incident they were attacked by a group of stone throwers.
The woman was subsequently re-admitted to hospital with shock.
