Police are investigating after the death of a young child in Londonderry on Tuesday.
The six-year-old boy has been named as Donnacadh Maguire and he was found seriously injured on the road in the Tyrconnell Street area at around 10.30am.
He later died in hospital.
A man has been arrested and is being questioned about the incident.

"I would ask anyone who was on Tyrconnell Street this morning between 10am and 10.30am to please get in touch with officers in Strand Road or the Collision Investigation Unit by calling 101, quoting reference number 390 of 11/07/17."
