Police were conducting a search in the Rathmore Park area of the city when the device was thrown at them shortly before 5pm on Saturday.
A police vehicle was significantly damaged by the blast however no officers were injured in the attack.
Inspector Jon Burrows said: “Those who carried out this attack have shown callous disregard for the safety of the local community and my officers.
“It is only by sheer good fortune that we do not have a fatality on our hands as this attack occurred in a built up residential area.
“My officers should be allowed to carry out their duties without the added pressure of misguided individuals intent on causing them harm.”
A gang of young people in the area also threw stones at police.
