Staff on Belfast's Glider system have been attacked for the fourth time this week.

On Saturday, May 6th, two members of staff were assaulted at a bus stop in the Lanyon Place area of Belfast.

It comes after a £1,000 reward was offered for help catching the perpetrators of the three previous incidents.

A Police spokesman said: "It was reported that two male members of staff had been assaulted by another man around 4.15pm."

"One of the victims was punched in the face, while the second was kicked to the side of the head. There have been no reports of any serious injuries at this time. This is an unprovoked attack on two staff members who were simply doing their job."

"Enquiries are continuing and anyone with any information or footage that could assist with the investigation is urged to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 1300 of 06/05/23."
