A man in his 20s has suffered injuries in an attack on a Glider service in Belfast.

At around 9:15pm on Tuesday, August 20th, in the Falls Road area, police say he was struck on the back of the head by an unknown object.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "It was reported that a number of youths, who were believed to have been involved in this unprovoked attack, were challenged by a number of passengers on board. The passenger received an injury to his head following the incident.

“The youths are believed to have taken fire extinguishers from the service and as they were confronted by a man in his 40s on board.

"The man was sprayed in the face by one of the youths armed with the fire extinguisher. The males then got off the Glider service and made off towards the Dunville Park area."

Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
