Man assaulted in Ballymena attack

Police in Ballymena have appealed for information following an assault in the town last night.

The man was walking along the Broughshane Road, close to the rugby club, when the attack took place.

Detectives in Ballymena have asked for anyone who may have seen a dirty coloured Transit type van with two men onboard between the times of 10pm and 11pm, to contact them.

The van is also believed to have an MKZ or NKZ registration and a double ladder roof rack.
