Police officers have been attacked with petrol bombs and fireworks in a County Armagh village.

The incident took place in Crossmaglen shortly after 2100 GMT on Friday.

Inspector David Beck, sector commander, said it was "extremely disappointing" that a minority seemed intent on putting lives at risk.

Police were still working to restore calm in the area late on Saturday. They have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
