Woman assaulted in County Antrim
Detectives in County Antrim have appealed for information after a woman was assaulted earlier today.
The incident happened at around 7am, when a woman was confronted by four men as she made her way along a laneway from Ballee to the Pennybridge industrial estate in Ballymena.
Two of the men were armed, one with a knife, and another with a large pair of scissors.
The woman was assaulted, and although she was not injured during the attack, was left badly shaken by the ordeal.
All four men are said to have been wearing green waterproof jackets, black waterproof trousers and black hats.
One of the men is said to be around 5ft 4 in height and quite plump.
The others are said to be taller and slimmer.
