Speaking after tonight’s football match in the city, Chief Inspector Luke Moyne said: “Understandably, there were concerns following the incidents that occurred in the Lone Moor Road area of the Brandywell on Friday evening, 19th April.

"Our officers were out and about in the area this evening, Monday 22 April, engaging with the community and with fans attending tonight's football match. The match itself passed without incident.

"However, a male teenager was arrested in the Lone Moor Gardens area during the evening on suspicion of possession of an article with a blade or point in a public place. The male was subsequently released, and is to be referred to the Youth Diversion Officer.

"We are grateful for the community support and we can reassure the community we will continue to deliver community-focused policing in the area.”
