    Woman stabbed with screwdriver during 'sustained violence and disorder' in Dungannon

    Five people have been arrested following reports of sustained violence and disorder in the Oaks Avenue area of the town. Detective Inspector Ryan said: “Just after 2.25pm, we received several reports that a number of people were fighting with weapons in the Oaks Avenue area of the town. “Four people were taken to hospital for treatment, including one woman who was stabbed to the head with a screwdriver. “Thankfully, at this stage it doesn’t appear that any of the injuries are life-threatening. “A 35-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent, while a woman aged 33 has been arrested for grievous bodily harm and a man aged 31 was arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The man was also arrested on suspicion of a number of driving offences. Two others were arrested at the scene on suspicion of offences unrelated to the day’s violence. “Officers remain at the scene this morning as our enquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing. Local residents will continue to see an increased police presence in the area over the coming days. “This was a terrifying experience for neighbours and those who witnessed these events, and we would appeal to anyone with information to contact us on 101, quoting reference 739 of 14/09/25. “We would be particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have mobile, dashcam or other footage.” Local SDLP Councillor Karol McQuade said there was concern in the community following the incident. He said: “Understandably there is significant concern in the local area following this violent incident. It has had a serious impact, not only on the people left injured, but on those who witnessed what took place. “There is no place for violence like this on our streets and reports of weapons being involved are deeply troubling. Police have already made a number of arrests and I welcome their attempts to reassure people in the local area after this disturbance. “Nobody expects to see something like this happening on their doorstep, particularly in broad daylight on a Sunday afternoon. I’d ask anyone with any information to come forward to police.”
