Three Police Officers Injured In Belfast Incident
A 35-year-old man has been arrested following an incident in which three police officers were assaulted in the early hours of this morning, Friday 13 December.
The incident occurred around 12:20 AM on Dublin Road. When officers attempted to speak to the driver of a suspicious vehicle, he assaulted them and drove off a short distance.
The man was arrested on suspicion of assault on police, resisting police, and dangerous driving. He remains in custody.
Inspector Green continued: "Thankfully, none of the officers received serious injuries during this incident, however this could have had very serious consequences. Assaults on our officers are completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated as simply being 'part of the job'.
"Our investigation into this incident is ongoing and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed a grey Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian in the city centre between midnight and 12.20am to contact Police on 101 quoting reference 27 of 13/12/24.
