DUP MLA Jonathan Craig said it was a despicable attack.
"A hand grenade was thrown at the two police officers," he said.
"It did explode and it damaged two cars of people who live in the area.
"Thankfully the cars sheltered the police from the main explosion, probably saving their lives."
SDLP councillor Brian Heading condemned those responsible.
"This was a totally reckless attack which could easily have killed either a police officer or a resident in this community," he said.
"This is a densely populated area with a lot of young families and to bring this sort of mayhem into the neighbourhood is cowardly and destructive."
