26-Year-Old Arrested After 'Roof Rampage' In South Belfast
A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with what has been described as a "roof rampage" in south Belfast.

The man spent a number of hours on top of the homes throwing bricks and tiles onto the street and cars below.

A number of residents' vehicles parked in the street were also damaged in the incident.
The man eventually came down from the roof at about 1.30am and arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including criminal damage.
