Violence escalated on Monday night around 8:30pm with more than 100 youths involved, some of whom were seen to be carrying sticks, broken bricks and golf balls.

As a result of this three vehicles were damaged, but the PSNI say the greatest concern is that this ongoing behaviour will lead to serious injury.
