Man assaulted by gang in Co Antrim

The incident took place in the Milewater Drive area shortly after midday on Sunday.

It was reported that five males called to a house, dragged a man outside and assaulted him. The males then left the scene on foot. The man was treated by ambulance staff for cuts and bruising.

Inspector Michael Simpson has appealed for anyone who witnessed the assault or who has any information about the incident or a further incident believed to have occurred in the same area last night in which a number of females were reported to have assaulted a male, to contact police in Newtownabbey on 101.

Information can also be given anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
