Alliance Party Leader and South Antrim MLA David Ford has condemned a petrol bomb attack on a house in Alder Park in Antrim, describing it as intolerable.

David Ford stated: "This is an appalling incident which has put people's lives at risk, including those of three children.

"Whatever hatred lies behind such an attack is something the community can do without. We simply cannot go on tolerating such activity.

"I would urge anyone with information to contact the local police urgently."
