Man held over Sinn Fein assault

Police

A 21-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an assault on two Sinn Fein members in Ballymena.

North Antrim MLA Daithi McKay and Cllr Padraig McShane were set upon in the Dunclug estate outside the home of a community worker.

Both men sustained minor injuries. The dispute started over the removal of a bonfire to commemorate internment.

A BBC Northern Ireland camera crew who were in the estate caught the incident on film.
