Police in Armagh have arrested a man on suspicion of attempted murder.

The incident happened at around 8pm last night in the Creevroe area of the town.

A man was later taken to hospital with injuries to his upper arm.

Meanwhile in County Down, a 17-year-old has been attacked twice as he walked through Bangor.

In the first incident, a gingered haired female attacked the youth at around 1.30am in the High Street area of the town. However, she fled when he fought back to defend himself.

A short time later, the teenager was attacked for a second time, by a gang of up to five men on the Victoria Road. He was left with injuries to his face and mouth.
