'Assaults on our officers are unacceptable, and will not be tolerated,' a PSNI spokesperson said
Two men have been arrested after six police officers were reportedly assaulted in Strabane on Friday.
Both men allegedly became verbally abusive and, despite being warned about their behaviour, they "began to lash out after being placed under arrest"."One of the men assaulted six different officer," a PSNI statement said. "Both men, aged in their twenties, were arrested on suspicion of a number of offences and remain in custody at this time.
"While we come to work knowing we could be faced with difficult and dangerous situations, it is completely unacceptable that our officers should be assaulted and verbally berated in the most shocking ways for simply doing their jobs.
