A man arrested by detectives from the PSNI's Terrorism Investigation Unit has been released unconditionally.
The 34-year-old was detained in the Ballymagroarty area of Derry on suspicion of carrying out a paramilitary style attack in the city on October 5.
He was taken to Musgrave Serious Crime Suite for questioning and later released.
A number of items were also seized.
Detective Inspector Heaton said: “We are committed to tackling all types of violence linked to paramilitaries and this arrest comes after a brutal paramilitary style attack on a man in the Creggan area last month.
“Paramilitaries are a blight on society and do not represent the interests of the community. They often claim that they are protecting their communities but in reality they seek to exert their control for their own selfish gains. We are committed to keeping people safe and will continue to work in partnership with local agencies, residents and community representatives to prevent and detect crime.”
