A 66-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder following a dissident republican car bomb at a Belfast police station last weekend.

The car exploded outside Dunmurry PSNI station on Saturday night after a hijacked delivery driver was forced to bring it there.

No person was injured, but a number of residents and at least one police officer had lucky escapes.

Police said they believed it was the work of the New IRA.

The 66-year-old man was arrested by detectives on Tuesday.

He has now been charged with attempted murder, possessing explosives and causing an explosion.

He faces further charges of hijacking and possession of articles for use in terrorism.

He will appear before Lisburn Magistrates Court in the morning.
