Appeal For Information On Serious Assault In Ballyclare
An investigation has been launched following reports that a man was tied up and assaulted in an incident in Ballyclare.
Police have issued an appeal for information and witnesses, after it was reported that at around 2.25am on Sunday 20th August a man and a woman entered a house in the Hillhead Road area of Ballyclare, armed with a hatchet and assaulted the male occupant.
The man had also reportedly been tied up during the incident. He sustained injuries to his head and face, and was almost rendered unconscious by the suspects, who then left the property on foot.
The victim was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries.
Detective Inspector Lavery said: "This was a brutal attack, and whilst the injuries inflicted on the victim are not believed to be life threatening at this time, you can imagine the resulting trauma this incident may have on him.
"As we continue with our enquiries, I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time, and may have seen any suspicious activity, or who may have any information which might assist us, to get in touch.
"The number to call is 101, quoting reference number 235 of 20/08/23."
