PSNI: Increased police presence in Derry after attacks

There will be an increased police presence in key areas of Londonderry after two attacks at the weekend, PSNI Ch Supt Gillian Kearney has said.

On Friday night a woman was assaulted at knifepoint in Drumahoe, while on Saturday afternoon a woman walking her dog in Top of the Hill was approached by a man holding a kitchen knife.

At a press conference on Monday, Ch Supt Kearney said the extra policing will continue over the coming days.

“We are engaging with our communities and partners in the city about what we can do as a collective to ensure women and girls feel safe and empowered to go about their lives without fear,” she added.

Police are investigating whether the same man was involved in both incidents.

Both parks where the attacks took place are in the city’s Waterside and about 2.5 miles (4km) apart.
