Police appeal after violent assaults
A 49-year-old man has been assaulted by a number of men at his home in Lisburn in the early hours of this morning.
At around 12.50am three masked men forced their way into the Manor Park home of the victim and assaulted him with baseball bats as he lay in bed. The assailants also caused damage to the interior of the house and a number of other items.
Police have also issued an appeal for information after a man was savagely beaten and then slashed with a knife in Antrim last Friday.
The attack happened at around 9.30pm when the victim was set upon by a group of about nine to 10 people in the Rathmore Gardens area of the town.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The charges relate to the seizure of £60,000 of herbal cannabis in Coleraine on August 25. A significant amount of cash was also recovered in a follow-up search.
