A man made his way to hospital after being assaulted by a number of men armed with iron bars in an aggravated burglary in the Creggan area of Derry last night (Tuesday).
Police say they received a report just after 10:40pm that a number of masked men entered the property in Creggan Heights and assaulted the man. The man who’s in his 30s, sustained a facial injury as a result of the attack.
The masked intruders then fled on foot in the direction of Rinmore Drive.
Detectives in Londonderry are investigating and are appealing for information.
Detective Inspector Michael Winters said the man made his way to hospital for treatment.
“Two women and a second male in the house at the time of the incident were not injured – however, this must have been a frightening ordeal for the victim and the occupants of the house,” he said.
“Our enquiries are ongoing, and I want to appeal to anyone who was in the Creggan Heights area prior to, or around the time the incident was reported to us and saw a number of males in the area acting suspiciously, or anyone who has information which may assist our investigation to call detectives at Strand Road on the non emergency number 101, quoting reference number 1482 of 09/04/19,” he added.
