Probe As Man Struck With Glass Bottle During Attempted Robbery
A man has been hospitalised for treatment after he was struck with a glass bottle during an attempted robbery in L'Derry.
Police are hunting three males in connection with the incident, which occurred at around 9.15pm on Sunday 01 March.
The victim was approached in the Dunfield Terrace area by the individuals, who requested his mobile phone and wallet before striking him on the hand with a glass bottle when he declined.
An altercation occurred and the man suffered bruising to his ribs and a laceration to his right hand. The men then made off from the scene empty handed. The victim was taken to hospital.
Detectives are appealing for information. One individual involved is described as 5'10", of medium build and wore a dark coloured hooded top with dark coloured bottoms and a baseball cap.
The second suspect, who was armed with the glass bottle, is also around 5' 10" in height and was dressed in a dark coloured hooded top.
The third male is described as being 5'6" in height and wearing a dark coloured zip-up coat.
All three are believed to have been aged in their mid to late 20s.
Sergeant Michael Hughes said: "Enquiries are continuing and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the area at the time of the incident to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 867 03/03/20.
"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
