Officers were pelted with bricks and rocks after responding to reports of a mob spray-painting property and harassing residents in the Conway Park area.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "Police in received a report at 5.35pm on Sunday evening, March 8, there was a gathering of people in the Conway Park area of Curryneirin who were reported to be causing damage - spray painting graffiti on property - and verbally abusing residents.
"Police responded and, when in the area, some of those that had gathered threw objects at police vehicles, including rocks and bricks. Police also noted damage to a sign, and an electrical box in the area.
"Officers engaged with those present, and liaised with local community representatives to de-escalate the situation. Officers remained in the area for some time to monitor the situation, and conduct reassurance patrols and, by 7pm, the situation had de-escalated and those present earlier had dispersed.
