Youths Attack Bus In North Belfast
Police have issued a warning after a number of youths attacked a bus in north Belfast.
The incident happened on the Ligoniel Road at around 7.35pm on Wednesday.
Youths were reportedly throwing stones at a bus, but no damage was caused.
However, a short time later stones were thrown at a bus again and the window was smashed.
PSNI Inspector Roy Watton said: "I would like to hear from witnesses or anyone who can identify the youths involved in this incident.
"I would also like to send a message directly to those youths. Stop this senseless and dangerous criminal behaviour.
"You are risking the safety of everyone aboard these buses when you target them like this. "A missile striking a moving vehicle can, as we have seen, cause a window to smash and potentially cause injury to those on board.
"If the driver were to lose control of the vehicle as a result of your actions, the consequences could be much graver. "You might think that this is just fooling around but the outcome could be serious injury for another person and a criminal record for you."
Police are appealing for witnesses to contact them.
