Fire crews have been attacked with stones while attending a call-out at a vacant house in west Belfast.

It happened shortly after 0530 BST on Friday at a property on Ross Road in the Lower Falls area.

"One vehicle had a windscreen smashed and crews were threatened," said a Fire Service spokesman.

Police attended the scene and one person is in custody, a PSNI spokeswoman confirmed.
