Police in Northern Ireland investigating the attempted murder of police officers in east Belfast during recent disturbances have arrested a 28-year-old man from west Belfast.
A police spokesperson said the man also being questioned about suspected dissident republican activity.
The rioting in the east of the city has been described as the worst in the area in the last ten years.
Interface areas in east Belfast were quiet overnight, as political and community leaders continued efforts to defuse sectarian tension.
The PSNI maintained a presence after two nights of violence on Monday and Tuesday, involving rival loyalist and nationalist groups in the Short Strand and Lower Newtownards Road.
Amid the rising tension, Northern Ireland's First and Deputy First Ministers have appointed a senior government official to engage in talks with local community representatives.
Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness made the intervention following Tuesday night's rioting in which several hundred people were involved.
The PSNI blamed loyalist paramilitary group, the UVF, for the trouble, but said that dissident republicans were responsible for the gunfire in which a press photographer was wounded in the leg.
Last night, police arrested a 22-year-old man in west Belfast for questioning about dissident republican activity and the recent public disorder.
