A VIDEO has emerged on social media showing the moment a masked rioter throws a petrol bomb at a passing van in Derry.
The footage was recorded on the Lecky Road in the Bogside during a sixth consecutive night of violence in the city.
Young people in the Bogside threw two explosive devices and a total of 74 petrol bombs in what police described as a "prolonged and sustained attack".
