A total of seven arrests were made, all aged between 15 and 18.

This was for numerous reasons; including drugs, offensive weapons, violent behaviour, possession with intent to supply and criminal damage.

Police have confirmed the injury of a 15-year-old boy who was treated by medics at the scene before being taken to hospital.

It is said he was only suffering with minor injuries.

Around 1:00 am the previous morning, the police advised the public that a Section 60 was being placed in the area.
