A 15-year-old boy has been charged with assault after a 15-year-old girl was hit on the head by a brick in Belfast, police have said.

The incident happened in the Broadway area of south Belfast at around 22:20 BST on Tuesday.

Police said the girl was taken to hospital for treatment but her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

The boy has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

He is expected to appear before Belfast Youth Court on Monday 28 April.

It comes as Ch Insp Conway said police are “in the area each evening, providing a visible policing presence and liaising with community representatives”.

“It’s only through sheer luck that we aren’t looking at much more serious consequences for this young girl.”
