Three officers hurt and 13-year-old arrested after police pelted with fireworks and masonry in Derry
A crowd had gathered in the Orchard Row area of the city before police were attacked.
The gathering was organised over social media on Monday night.
It's understood that several attempts were made to attack homes in the Fountain Estate before police intervened.
Videos posted to social media show crowds of youths shooting fireworks at officers in riot gear.
In an update this afternoon, police confirmed two arrests have been made.
A spokesperson added: 'A second arrest has been made today, 17 June, by police in Derry/Londonderry in connection with disorder in the Nailors Row area of the city last night, 16 June.
'A 13-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour, and has since been released on bail to allow for further police enquiries to be conducted.'
Derek Moore of the North West Cultural Partnership, which is based in the Fountain, said issues have been ongoing for six to eight weeks.
Meetings have been held with the PSNI, he said, with pressure applied on them and individuals with influence in the Bogside to engage with the young people responsible.
It appears to have continued since April, when two Catholic boys were attacked in the Nelson Drive area of the Waterside.
At the time that sparked what police described as tit-for-tat "sectarian hate crimes", including a paint bomb attack on a mural in the Fountain estate.
Mr Moore said the attacks in recent weeks have been 'low level but constant'.
Youths in the Bogside have gathered a large amount of bonfire material at Meenan Square, a short distance from the Fountain.
They congregate at the site and Mr Moore said this has then led to youths moving towards the Fountain or gathering on the Derry Walls which overlook the Fountain.
The PSNI has been made aware of ongoing incidents but Mr Moore said the police service has been reluctant to act until now.
SDLP Foyle MLA Mark H Durkan condemned the disorder. He said that three police officers were injured after disturbances in the vicinity of the city's walls.
'It's really disheartening that we have seen a number of disturbances in our city in recent days,' he said.
"In this latest incident at Nailor's Row we have seen three police officers injured and my thoughts are with them and I hope they make a quick and full recovery. Police were struck with masonry and fireworks and were lucky to escape even more serious injuries.
'I would urge the people involved in these incidents to stop terrorising their own community. We have seen anti-social behaviour involving young people in this area in the past and those involved are risking a criminal record and their own future in the process.
'I'm also concerned at how social media is being used to promote this activity, turning dangerous incidents into entertainment and encouraging others to join in. As we approach the summer holidays I would encourage parents to make sure they know what their young people are up to and to warn them of the dangers of engaging in this kind of activity.
'Last week we rightly condemned scenes emanating from elsewhere of rioting and the attacking of people and property. The same applies here and now.'
A PSNI spokesperson said: 'We are continuing to engage with local representatives and community groups to address reports of anti-social and criminal behaviour in light of incidents reported in the area recently, which have included criminal damage caused to a vehicle in the area on 27th April, and a report of bottles thrown in the area of Bishop Street on 8th May.
'Our neighbourhood team will continue to engage with relevant partners, focusing patrols where they are needed and taking positive action where they can.
'In the meantime, I encourage the community to continue to report crimes or incidents that impact on their quality of life on 101, or 999 in an emergency.
"I would also remind anyone who engages in anti-social behaviour of the dangers of getting involved in this type of behaviour and urge them to consider the consequences of their actions. Ultimately, they could end up with a criminal record which may impact their future employment and travel prospects.'

Death toll rises after attack on church in east Congo church
The incident took place in the place of worship in Komanda, Ituri province. Dieudonne Duranthabo, a civil society coordinator, said: 'The bodies of the victims are still at the scene of the tragedy, and volunteers are preparing how to bury them in a mass grave that we are preparing in a compound of the Catholic church.' At least five other people were killed in an earlier attack on the nearby village of Machongani, where a search is ongoing. 'They took several people into the bush; we do not know their destination or their number,' Lossa Dhekana, a civil society leader in Ituri, told reporters. Both attacks are believed to have been carried out by members of the Allied Democratic Force (ADF) armed with guns and machetes. The military has confirmed at least 10 fatalities, while local media reports put the total death toll at more than 40. Mr Duranthabo said attackers stormed the church in Komanda town at around 1am. Several houses and shops were also burnt. Lt Jules Ngongo, a Congolese army spokesperson in Ituri province, confirmed 10 were killed in the church attack. Video footage from the scene shared online appeared to show burning structures and bodies on the floor of the church. Those who were able to identify some of the victims wailed while others stood in shock. A UN-backed radio station said 43 people were killed, citing security sources. It said the attackers came from a stronghold around seven miles from the centre of Komanda and fled before security forces could arrive. Mr Duranthabo condemned the attack 'in a town where all the security officials are present'. He added: 'We demand military intervention as soon as possible, since we are told the enemy is still near our town.' Eastern Congo has suffered deadly attacks in recent years by armed groups, including the ADF and Rwanda-backed rebels. The ADF, which has ties to the so-called Islamic State, operates in the borderland between Uganda and Congo and often targets civilians. The group killed dozens of people in Ituri earlier this month in what a United Nations spokesperson described as a bloodbath. The ADF was formed by disparate small groups in Uganda in the late 1990s following alleged discontent with President Yoweri Museveni. In 2002, following military assaults by Ugandan forces, the group moved its activities to neighbouring Congo and has since been responsible for the killings of thousands of civilians. In 2019, it pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC), which has long struggled against the rebel group, has been facing attacks since the renewed hostilities between the Rwanda-backed M23.
