Eight police officers have been injured after disorder broke out following the Irish Cup final in south Belfast.

Dungannon Swifts won the title for the first time on Saturday after defeating Cliftonville in a penalty shootout at Windsor Park.

After the match, at about 17:30 BST, police said a small minority of football fans threw items at officers near the Broadway roundabout. All remained on duty.

Three people were arrested – two for disorderly behaviour and one juvenile for possessing a flare – and five were cautioned for possession of fireworks.

“However we will not tolerate disruption, disorder or criminal behaviour of any kind,” he added.

“As always, we will continue to work with football clubs to address any criminal activity linked to people attending matches and ensure that supporters are kept safe.”
