Bricks were thrown at a bus in the Stewartstown Road area of Dunmurry on Monday evening.
It was reported a crowd of youths were in the area at around 7pm and one window was broken in the attack. No one was injured. Shortly after the incident, a group refused to get off the Glider bus, and when they eventually disembarked, one reportedly threw a brick at the window.
An urgent meeting was held between Translink, the PSNI, the union Unite and political and community representatives on Tuesday in a bid to address the issue.
Inspector Karen Hamill is keen to hear from witnesses or anyone who can identify those involved in these incidents.
“I’m also appealing directly to those responsible. This behaviour is senseless, reckless and dangerous – and has to stop.
“The consequences are huge. It’s not just the follow-on disruption to members of the public and financial cost of repairs, you are risking the safety, even lives, of those on-board, from the driver to children and families. It’s only by sheer luck that no one was physically injured yesterday.
“Parents and guardians need to do all they can to prevent young people from becoming involved or caught up in these activities. Know where your children are, who they are with and what they are doing.
“The PSNI has today met with Translink, Unite, community and elected representatives. Police will maintain a visible presence in the area. And we are committed to working together to ensure the safety of members of the public and Translink staff,” she added.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 1667 of 17/02/20.
