Violence erupted on the streets of Belfast last night with petrol bombs and bricks launched at police ahead of the annual Orange parades.

Four officers were taken to hospital but none of their injuries were life-threatening, said the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). A further 18 officers were treated for minor injuries.

A bus was hijacked and driven at a police cordon but crashed a short distance away during the trouble in west Belfast.
