POLICE IN EAST Belfast are appealing for information after a number of vehicles were damaged by youths throwing stones.
Four women were injured on a bus in the area of Castlereagh Street and Beersbridge Road last night.
At around 9.30pm it was reported that a large group of youths were throwing stones at passing vehicles, with four buses and a car reported to have been damaged as a result.
A female passenger on a bus sustained injures after being struck by a stone and three other women sustained injuries after being hit by flying glass. Police in the area responded to the reports and the youths dispersed.
The PSNI appealed for anyone who witnessed any of the incidents or anyone with any information to contact Strandtown Police Station on the non-emergency number 101.

Little thugs, a good kick up the arse is what they need!
Too soft. Little basta*ds that engage in this behaviour should have their face smashed in with a lead pipe.
38 green thumbs for the lead pipe suggestion but last week the opposite reaction when a similar fate was suggested for the anti water brick thrower. Interesting.
No doubt they are from “broken homes” or “there’s nothing for them to do”. Pure filth.
I was on bus before and two youths threw stones at the bus window. The window shattered and the shards of glass missed me by inches. There was glass all over the seat. The bus driver puled over and checked we were all okay. He than drove back to the station and we all got off and waited for another bus to collect us. It was so scary. People who do that are thugs.
I think schools youthcentres should do a class to show them how bloody serious it is
I know the buses in Ballymun have to divert their route every week or so because of youths throwing stones. I was on a bus myself when they were firing stones at the bus and jeering.
Its shocking to see such destructive people, what are they thinking?!
Their thinking there’s a bus let’s throw stones at it
They’re obviously mot thinking!
Were they shouting “Peaceful Protest” and “pepper sprayed”. If not Clare Daly and her tax dodging buddy and the Socialist party are falling down on the job.
They’re
One water balloon at Joan burton and there is uproar. No fear cops wud sort this out
Where are the parents of these little toerags? On the dole, sitting at home drinking linden village watching Jerry Springer probably.
Wasn’t there some charity paying undesirables like this a small one-off cash award for undergoing sterilization?
It was an everyday occurrence when I was at school. As soon as the bus turned a certain corner, the missiles would come in through the windows. We just automatically ducked. Don’t know how or why the bus drivers kept going. Unsung heroes of the troubles
Bus windows get smashed nearly everyday down here by kids throwing stones.
What became of the working class?
Nike, Reebok, Adidas.
not everybody who wears those brands of clothing is working class………
Obviously, just as not EVERY working class person wears sports gear away from sports.
Disgraceful carry on,Ireland is becoming a very scary place to live in
Palestinians are at it again ted
Israeli ministers pass bill jailing Palestinian stone throwers for 20 years.
I suggest the Dail and the UK parliaments pass laws that treat stone throwing as attempted murder.
A rock was thrown at my car at 8 pm in Ennis few weeks ago the fella that threw it was at least 16 I drove on as I was on my own and there was a few of them I stopped a couple who rang the guards but they never showed. Last Sunday week at 12 in the day 3 youngfellas threw a stone hitting the bonnet and windscreen. I followed them in my car into an estate one of them kept giving me the fingers as they ran round corners. I phoned the guards who rang back and said they could see me on cctv in the station and then the three lads on another camera. Two guards came one couldn’t care less the other couldn’t believe I followed them woman on my own!!! There was a dint in the bonnet. They said they d find them . Told them I wanted them to tell them off. Took my name and no never heard from the guards again
A lot of these incidents take place in certain area’s.. The kids involved can be from 7 yrs and up. What they dont realise is that the chances of injuring numerous people and persons they could even be related to is inconceivable.. There’s also possibility’s that a person they injure could be from say a family with a reputation for voilence. Now thats when its going to come back and kick them in the arse..
have your say
