Three men were being questioned by the RUC last night in connection with the stabbing of a security guard outside a Derry shopping centre at lunchtime yesterday.
The guard, who is in a serious but stable condition in Altnagelvin Hospital, was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver when he approached three men seen trying to break into a car in the car park of the Northside Shopping Centre in the Shantallow area of Derry.
The three men ran off leaving the guard on the ground. Several hours later an RUC patrol stopped a car outside Antrim. Three men inside were detained for questioning about the incident.
