The PSNI confirmed today that two people have been arrested in connection with the car bomb.
Authorities have since called the attack "unbelievably reckless" and "crude."
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton said:
"This attack was unbelievably reckless. Thankfully the attackers failed to kill or injure any members the local community out socialising and enjoying the best of what the city has to offer.
"The people responsible for this attack have shown no regard for the community or local businesses.
"They care little about the damage to the area and the disruption they have caused. The area remains sealed off and church services at St Augustine’s has been moved to St Peters and the Cathedral services have been cancelled this morning as a result."
The PSNI are appealing for anybody with information to come forward.
