Two teenagers injured in East Belfast assaults
Two teenagers have been injured following two assaults in East Belfast in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Sergeant Austin Grant said: "We received a report shortly after 4am that a large crowd, of between 30 and 40 people, were outside on the street on Templemore Avenue.
"Officers attended the scene and the crowd was moved on.
"A short time later, however, it was reported a number of people had again gathered on the street and it was reported that a male was in the area brandishing a knife.
"He is described as being around 6' tall, was bare chested and wore grey tracksuit bottoms.
"It was further reported that two males had been assaulted.
"A 18-year-old male sustained stab wounds to his neck, chest and arm and was taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries which are not believed to life threatening at this time.
"A second male, also aged 18, was reported to have sustained cuts to his arm and shoulder and scratches to his ear after he was assaulted by three males in the area.
"I want to appeal to anyone who was in the area and saw what happened or anyone who has information which may assist our investigation to get in touch with us by calling the non emergency number 101, quoting reference number 327 of 10/03/19."
