”I hope that the injured officer will make a full and speedy recovery,” said Mr Kelly.

“Those responsible for this attack are the same people who are attacking the local community.

“They have absolutely nothing to offer society and need to call a halt to these activities immediately.

“I would call on anyone with information on this incident to bring it forward to the PSNI.”
