Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a serious assault on a man in Derry.
Police received a report at around 10.15pm, on Saturday, April 12 that a number of men, wearing balaclavas, had broken into a residential property in the Creevagh Heights area of the city and assaulted the resident, a man aged in his 30s.
The man was taken to hospital for treatment to injuries to his leg, head and hands. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Detective Inspector Hanbidge said: “Horrific violence has been inflicted on this man that will leave physical and mental scars, along with trauma that may never heal. No good comes from this, ever.
“Anyone with information that could help our investigation is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 1946 12/04/25.
“We are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have CCTV or dash-cam footage of the area yesterday evening, Saturday, April 12."
