Woman stabbed in head with screwdriver during Dungannon brawl

SERIOUS questions must be asked of the housing associations and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive about the suitability of some tenants who are allocated homes in new family-focused developments, a Dungannon councillor has claimed.

Dungannon DUP Cllr Clement Cuthbertson was responding after the latest incident in Dungannon in which four people were taken to hospital following an altercation involving a number of people at the new Oaks Avenue development in the town on Sunday afternoon.

According to Police five people were arrested following an altercation in the Oaks Avenue housing development near Dungannon town centre which caused four people to be hospitalised, including one woman who had been stabbed with a screwdriver.
