Two men appear in court charged with attempted murder
Two men have appeared in court today charged with attempted murder following an attack on a man at the weekend.
James Gerard McGrillen, 25, of Glenveagh Drive, and Martin Deeds, 24, of Tardree Park, Belfast were remanded in custody after a detective told Belfast Magistrates Court on Tuesday that he believed he could connect them to an attack on a 22-year-old man at Carrigart Avenue on Sunday.
The victim sustained serious injuries to his head and chest and is currently being treated in hospital.
The two men were remanded in custody until 15 November.
Elsewhere in an unrelated incident, a man has been shot in both legs in a paramilitary style attack in Newtownabbey.
The 42-year-old victim was walking along Queens Crescent, Carnmoney, at about 10pm on Monday when he was confronted by four masked men.
He was then shot in the legs, but managed to raise the alarm by staggering to a nearby house.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
