A woman in her 20s was injured after being assaulted in Portrush on St Patrick’s Day.
The incident happened in the Eglinton Street area on Tuesday 17 March – police have just released details of the incident.
Police received a report of a fight between a number of men and women outside premises on Eglinton Street at around 8.15pm.
During the incident, a woman, who had gone to check on a family member, was assaulted.
The woman sustained a head and foot injury, and had to be taken to hospital.
Constable McFall said this was a ‘brutal and vicious attack on a young woman.’
“And while this happened in March, I can only hope that the significance of the date – this was St Patrick’s Day and also the start of lockdown – may jog memories.
