An attack on children outside a Belfast secondary school today is being treated as sectarian.
Police said a man on a motor scooter targeted a group of boys outside St Gabriel's Secondary School on the Crumlin Road as they arrived for classes.
The man, thought to be carrying an iron bar, grabbed one of the boys, but the boy managed to escape, said a police spokeswoman.
No one was injured, and the man sped off down nearby Hesketh Street, a mainly Protestant area.
