Police have foiled an attempted armed robbery of a security van outside a bank in south Belfast. | |
Under-cover officers arrested four men in side streets after chasing the gang and ramming a car and a van. | |
The robbery happened at a branch of the Northern Bank in Finaghy at about 1100 GMT on Thursday. | |
One person was injured, but police do not believe he was seriously hurt. The two vehicles which were rammed by the police car are also being examined. | |
Businessman John Bushell, who witnessed the arrests, said: "They dragged the occupants out, one of them was on his knees, at the drivers door and they held him up against the car. | |
"The other fella was dragged out of the car and put up against a wall. The police had machine guns trained on him." |
