Police make arrests following street violence in North Belfast
Two people were arrested in North Belfast on Monday morning as minor street violence erupted following a weekend of tension.
Disturbances in the Arthur Bridge area of the Whitewell Road on February 11 followed reports that fireworks had been thrown from the White City area towards the Longlands housing estate.
Police arrived to find crowds from the rival nationalist Longlands estate and the loyalist White City confronting each other. While these crowds were dispersed, later a group, which police said were from the Longlands estate, again confronted officers and two arrests were made.
The incident on Monday morning followed trouble on Sunday evening when there was sporadic stone throwing.
On Saturday in the interface area along the Whitwell Road there was street rioting. Police said eight petrol bombs were thrown and that at the height of the violence around 80 people were involved. Police arrested one man.
