Rioters 'are community enemies' | |
(30 minutes later) | |
Trouble at an interface area of the Waterside in Londonderry has been condemned by the city's mayor. | |
It began on Sunday afternoon in Irish Street. Police were attacked with bricks and stones as they tried to keep apart republican and loyalist youths. | |
Sinn Fein mayor Lynn Fleming criticised those who provoked the rioting. | |
"They are enemies of this community and if they are not disrupting their own community, they are up trying to disrupt the community in Irish Street." | |
She added: "We intend to go around some of the people who we recognised and speak to their parents to ask them if they are aware their young people are part of this problem. | |
"Hopefully that will go some way towards ensuring this trouble is stopped." | |
A teenager who was arrested has been released, pending reports. |
