A school was damaged today in a petrol bomb attack in north Belfast.

Police were called to the scene on the Antrim Road when smoke was spotted at around 6am.

The police and fire service said the fire had burned itself out by the time they arrived.

But they discovered the remains of a petrol bomb in one ground-floor classroom and found evidence that an accelerant was poured through a window in another.

The two rooms were badly smoke-damaged, as were adjoining corridors.

Police have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
