Twenty-seven police officers were injured during Friday’s riots in Belfast and Londonderry, while a number of cars were hijacked and set alight in Newtownabbey on Saturday.
Masked men threw petrol bombs and other missiles at PSNI Land Rovers during Saturday’s disorder near the Cloughfern roundabout on O’Neill’s Road.
