Police are appealing for information following Sunday night’s incident
Police are appealing for information following a report of an attempted hijacking in west Belfast.
Shortly before 9.30pm yesterday evening, Sunday, November 9, it was reported that a teenage male was riding a scooter in the Stewartstown Road area when he was approached by three young males on foot.
One of them, who was described as being aged approximately 16-years-old, with short blonde hair and dressed in a blue puffa jacket, instructed him to get off the scooter before reaching inside his jacket.

Fearing that this was a knife the suspect was reaching for, the teenager made off to safety before calling police.
