Petrol bombs were thrown at PSNI officers during disturbances in Carrickfergus last night.
A fire was lit on the North Road.
Over the Easter weekend, a total of 32 PSNI officers were injured during riots in South Belfast, Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus and Londonderry.
Police have said the attacks were ‘clearly orchestrated.’
The disorder started at around 9pm in the vicinity of the Cloughfern roundabout in Newtownabbey where approximately 20 to 30 masked individuals set bins on fire.
When officers moved in to the area, four petrol bombs were thrown at them leaving one officer with a leg injury.
About an hour later, in the North Road area of Carrickfergus, a crowd of up to 50 people gathered and 20 petrol bombs were pelted at police along with masonry.
Four officers were injured after they were all struck by masonry and sustained leg, foot and neck injuries.
Chief Superintendent Davy Beck described the violence as ‘senseless’ and is urging those with influence in the community to do what they can to prevent any further disorder.
