A GLIDER ticket inspector has sustained facial injuries after being assaulted by youths on board a vehicle.
The attack happened on a Glider service on the Stewartstown Road shortly before 5.30pm on Monday.
The male inspector had spoken to a number of teenage youths and two older males, one of whom was using a crutch and one with an arm in a sling, about their anti-social behaviour on board the bus. He was then assaulted and sustained facial injuries which required hospital treatment.
PSNI Inspector Adams said: “Any assault is unacceptable, but an attack on a member of staff who is assisting the local community is absolutely abhorrent.
“Enquiries are continuing and I would appeal to anyone with any information in relation to the assault, to contact officers in Woodbourne on 101 quoting reference number 1170 26/05/25.
