Two Teenagers Arrested Following Pre-Arranged Fight On Social Media
Two teenage girls have been arrested following what is believed to be a pre-arranged fight on social media in Belfast city centre.
Around 200 youths gathered in Castle Street and Millfield at around 5pm on Sunday.
On the PSNI Belfast City Centre Facbook page it said: "Two teenage girls have been arrested after what we believe was a prearranged fight in Belfast City centre.
"Officers responded and as many as perhaps 200 young people were found to be present having apparently been alerted by social media.
"We cannot stress enough how dangerous and frankly stupid this business of prearranging fights is. Teenagers are risking not only physical harm but also a criminal record.
"This needs to stop now."
