Man Hurt As Kidnap Bid Fails
Detectives are appealing for information after a report of an assault at Edward Street, in the south Belfast area in the early hours of this morning.
A police spokesperson said that, at around 20 minutes past midnight, it was reported that a man was approached at a car park in the area by three unknown masked men.
It is believed the man was handcuffed, assaulted and an attempt was made to bundle him in the rear of a silver coloured vehicle.
The statement said that he was later able to free himself and the victim attended hospital for injuries to his hand and head.
It is also believed that the man lost a number of teeth during the incident.
At this stage, the man's injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
The PSNI statement concluded: "Anyone who has any information is asked to contact Musgrave Street CID on 0845 600 8000.
"Or, if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details, they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111."
