A man has been arrested after police came under attack in a second night of "unacceptable" disorder in south Belfast.
The arrest of the 38-year-old came after the incident in the Broadway area.
Paint, bottles and a number of petrol bombs were thrown at police, the PSNI said in a statement.
District Commander for Belfast, Chief Superintendent Jeremy Lindsay said around 40 people were involved - "most of whom were young teens".
Up to 50 young people were involved in similar attacks the previous night.
"I would urge those young people, and their parents or guardians, to really take time to think about what the consequences of this behaviour could be. The implications for your future could be immense," he said.
Police were "thankful that no police officers or members of the public were injured" but the disorder, "this disorder, which lasted into the early hours of this morning, is completely unacceptable", added Mr Lindsay.
Images on social media showed a number of PSNI Land Rovers in the area and masked youths hurling stones and bottles.
A number of police cars as well as cars belonging to members of the public were damaged during the disorder at the nearby Broadway Roundabout on Monday night.
South Belfast DUP MLA Edwin Poots said tensions in the area have been high for months between young people coming from the west Belfast side of the junction and those from the south Belfast side "hand to hand fighting" and throwing missiles close to a busy road.
He has called for intervention from Belfast City Council and other organisations to create diversionary schemes.
Mr Poots said the situation in the area has been "ongoing from October last year" but had been "taken to a different level".
PSNI officers said they will patrol the Broadway area again this evening and work with community leaders to prevent further disorder.
