Three men have been detained by police in Northern Ireland following a failed attempt to hijack an oil tanker just outside Belfast.

The driver of the tanker was delivering fuel to a house in the north of the city when a group of men forced him from the truck.

The men lost control of the tanker which apparently went hurtling down the street, crashing into at least three cars before coming to a halt.

No one was injured during the incident.
