Rival gangs clash in east Belfast
Violence erupted in east Belfast again last night as rival gangs attacked each other with bricks and stones.
Security forces in the area were forced to keep the factions apart from as early as 6pm yesterday as police and army moved into the nationalist Short Strand area.
Both loyalist and nationalist mobs of up to 100 people on each side threw missiles at each other before the situation was eventually calmed down.
A police spokesperson said officers had taken control of the situation by late last night after incidents of sporadic stone throwing earlier in the evening.
