Teenagers attacked

Two Catholic teenagers were the target of a suspected sectarian attack in Coleraine on Friday night.

The girls, aged 14 and 17, sustained facial injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening in the Greenmount area of the town, a police spokesperson said.

The teenagers were close to Greenhall Highway when they were assaulted by up to six people at around 9.20pm.

Police are investigating reports that loyal order bandsmen may have been involved in the incident.
