Probe As Three People Attacked In L'Derry

Police have launched an investigation after a group of people attacked two women and a man in the Clon Daragh area of L'Derry.

The incident took place at around 1.50pm on Saturday 23 February and saw all three of the victims injured.

Officers believe the six assailants were travelling in a silver Audi A3 which was driven erratically in the area. When the two female victims, who are both in their 20s, challenged the manner of the driving, the occupants of the Audi exited the vehicle and set upon their car, a Seat Toledo.

A male in his 30s attempted to intervene and was also assaulted by the group before all six attackers left the area in the Audi.

All three victims received treatment for their injuries, with one woman having sustained facial wounds due to broken glass.

Police have appealed for information relating to the attack which can be submitted via the non-emergency line 101.
