Cllr Curran said: “I am shocked to learn of this incident. The University area is a diverse neighbourhood with many students, long term residents and children, and I am deeply concerned at the impact this will have upon them and their safety.
“Everyone is entitled to live in peace, free from the threat of such violence and I deplore this act completely.
“I would urge anyone with information about this incident to contact the police immediately.”
