Police in Northern Ireland have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with an attempted hijacking of a train in Lurgan, Co Armagh.

A group of up to 60 masked rioters forced the Belfast-Dublin Enterprise train to come to a stop near Lake Street, Lurgan at 4.30pm on July 12th.

Petrol bombs were thrown in an attempt to set fire to the driver’s area. However, staff were able to lock off the main passenger area from the rioters and the driver managed to regain control and continue the journey.

The man was arrested in the Drumnamoe Avenue area at 4.40am. Police also carried out a number of searches across Lurgan this morning. A number of items were seized by the PSNI for further examination.
