Police officers came under fire from gunmen in Belfast tonight.
They were in three vehicles which were targeted as they travelled along the Crumlin Road in the north of the city just after 7pm.
There were no reports of any injuries.
Police Service of Northern Ireland district commander Chief Superintendent George Clarke said the attack was being treated as attempted murder.
He said: “It is to be utterly condemned by all right-minded members of society and I urge anyone with any information to contact police immediately.”
