20 police officers have been injured over a 24-hour period across Northern Ireland.

Injuries were sustained during separate incidents in Crossmaglen, Newry, Mountnorris, Craigavon, Londonderry, Fermanagh and north and west Belfast.

One officer's patrol vehicle was deliberately rammed, the sixth time they've been involved in vehicle rammings while on duty.

Earlier this week the PSNI highlighted concerns over an increasing number of ramming incidents.
