PARENTS have been advised to keep a closer eye on their children following a night of anti-social behaviour north Belfast.
It is understood up to 100 young people, some as young as 12, converged on the Oldpark Road area on Saturday night for an "arranged" fight.
Youths gathered at the Marrowbone Millennium Park before they began throwing bricks and stones at passing cars, causing one driver to almost lose control of their vehicle.
Several cars in the area had their windscreens and bodywork damaged by flying rocks and other missiles.
Paul McCusker, an SDLP councillor for the area, urged young people to curb their behaviour "before someone gets killed"/
"Some residents have said they haven’t been able to sleep for weeks and another car carrying children was also attacked a number of weeks ago," he said.
"I would urge these young people to stop this reckless behaviour at once before someone gets killed.
"Parents need to get on board as well if we’re to get a handle on this, people should have respect for their community and out."
PSNI inspector James Murphy said patrols in the area will be increased following the disorder.
"Our advice to young people is: don’t get involved in anti-social behaviour like this and keep yourself safe," he said.
"Our advice to parents is to find out what your kids are doing, where they are, who they are with and what their plans are."
