Firefighter injured by firework in Londonderry

Police in Derry have charged three men following a disturbance in the Craigavon Bridge area on Friday.

The men, aged 22, 26 and 28, were all charged with disorderly behaviour and are due to appear in court on January, 31.

The arrests and charges follow a report that a number of people had climbed up a crane in the area and erected a flag.

Police and colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service attended to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

A crowd gathered close to the incident and a firework was thrown, which exploded at a firefighter's leg, causing injuries.
