Three injured in petrol bomb attack
Detectives in west Belfast have appealed for information following a petrol bomb attack on a property in the area yesterday evening.
Two men and a woman, aged in their late teens and early 20s, were in the property in the New Barnsley Crescent area of the city when the the device was thrown shortly before 10pm.
It is understood that all three were injured during the incident, however one of the men is said to be in a critical condition.

Police are investigating reports of two men being seen running from the scene with their clothes possibly on fire.
They are also appealing to anyone who noticed individuals carrying cans or containers which may have contained petrol, or to staff from any petrol stations who may have sold a quantity of petrol in containers over the past few days.
Detectives have also asked for anyone who may know of anyone who may have suffered, or been treated for burns since last night, to contact them on 0845 600 8000, or anonymously on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
