The incident took place in the Donegall Mews area on the Donegall Road yesterday evening.

Crossbow bolt

At approximately 8.50pm a crossbow bolt was shot through the window of a flat in the area. There was a female occupant in the property at the time, but she was not in the room where the bolt targeted.

The woman was not injured in the incident and it’s believed that there is no indication as to why the attack took place.
