Police have arrested a 20 year old man on suspicion of robbery, assault on police and resisting police.
The arrest followed an incident in which a taxi driver was robbed by a passenger in Glenalina Park in west Belfast shortly before 11pm last night, Friday 23 February.
During his arrest the suspect assaulted an officer by punching him and attempting to bite and head-butt him.
He remains in police custody at present.
Police are investigating a possible link between this robbery and an attempted burglary at a building site in College Square North, reported at around 10.10pm.
