A man has been arrested after an incident on Drumcree Road, Portadown on Sunday.

The Orange Order said one of its members was injured along with a police officer when they were struck by a car during a parade.

The 31 year old is being questioned on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking; dangerous driving; driving while unfit and failing to stop.

The PSNI said there is no indication at this stage that it was sectarian.

Insp Brian Mills said while he was thankful that no-one had been seriously injured, the incident "could have been much worse".

The car was abandoned a short time later at Churchill Park in the town. Witnesses said they saw three men running away.

In a statement, a spokesman from the Orange Order in Portadown, County Armagh, said: "We had just completed the formal protest and were returning to the assembly point when a vehicle approached and struck a member of the Order and a police officer who tried to stop the vehicle.

"Thankfully, neither sustained serious injuries."
