A man was treated for face, head and arm injuries after being assaulted by a man wielding what’s believed to have been a hammer in Coleraine.
Detectives are appealing for information following the report of the assault on the man in the Ballysally Road area at the weekend.
Detective Sergeant Wallace said police received a report that a man had been assaulted in the area when walking home in the early hours of Sunday morning (3 November).
And police are keen to speak to anyone with information.
“It is believed he was struck from the side, possibly with a hammer, and subsequently received treatment in hospital for injuries to his face, head and arm. The injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
“We are appealing to anyone with information, or who noticed any suspicious activity in the area, to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 824 of 03/11/19,” added Detective Sergeant Wallace.
