One man was arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour following serious disturbances in Derry last night.
A PSNI spokesman said a gang of youths dragged rubbish and other objects onto the street at Ardmore Road early this morning and set fire to it. They then attacked police who arrived on the scene.
At least 12 petrol bombs, as well as bricks, bottles and other missiles, were thrown at the police.
The fire services put out the blaze and there were no serious injuries reported.
