Two Teens Arrested After Three People Attacked In Co Armagh
Two teenagers have been arrested after two 15-year-old boys and an 18-year-old woman were attacked in Portadown, County Armagh.
The incident happened in the Meadow Lane area just before 6.30pm on Saturday.
The teenage boys received cuts during the altercations and the woman was punched.
Both the 18-year-old and 17-year-old men were arrested on suspicion of assault, occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon. The 17-year-old was also arrested on suspicion of common assault.
Inspector O'Connor said: "This incident is an example of the dangers of getting involved in this kind of activity. Three young people were hurt in the fights, while two other young men were arrested and now face the very real risk of getting a criminal record which could affect their life for a very long time. Young people should think about this and should not get involved.
"I would also ask parents to take responsibility for what their children get up to when out and about with their friends. You need to know where your children are, who they are with and what they are doing."
Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
