A man has escaped injury after a shot was fired at a house in north Belfast.

Police said the incident happened at a property in Boyd Street shortly before 21:30 GMT on Tuesday.

The shot caused damage to a window, walls and ceiling of the living room.

A man dressed entirely in black, with his hood up covering his face, was seen running from the scene towards Gardiner Place.
