Police have come under attack in the Creggan area of the city whilst present at the 1916 Commemoration Committee Easter Rising march.
A spokesperson for the PSNI said: "Our officers have come under attack in Creggan with petrol bombs and other objects thrown at their vehicle while in attendance at an un-notified Easter parade. No injuries have been reported at this time. We would appeal for calm."
Crowds gathered earlier this afternoon in Central Drive in preparation for the Derry 1916 Commemoration Committee Easter Rising march.
Police had said this event was un-notified to the Parades Commission and therefore would automatically commit criminal offences if it went ahead.
Alliance Party leader Naomi Long has hit out at those responsible: “Scenes of people born after the GFA attacking the police are utterly tragic," Ms Long said.
"They are being groomed by adults who have nothing to offer but misery and destruction. The people of Creggan deserve better. Solidarity with police.”
