Police in the North are today questioning a man in connection with the attempted murder of a PSNI officer last weekend.

The 21-year-old was arrested yesterday evening in Carrickfergus, Co Antrim.

The PSNI officer was shot following loyalist disturbances in Carrickfergus that are believed to be linked to a dispute involving a dissident faction of the UDA.

His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

Another man was also arrested last night on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon during the disturbances.
