"Brutal" paramilitary style attack in Ballymoney
A man in his 30s was taken to hospital after he was assaulted by four masked men.
The paramilitary style assault took place at a house in The Crescent area of Ballymoney, Sunday, 4 March around 7.45pm.
The man in his 30s was taken to hospital after he was assaulted by the men who forced their way into a home in the Crescent area.
Another male and a female who were also in the house were forced into the kitchen of the property whilst the intruders carried out this assault.
They were not injured, however they were left very badly shaken.
Police have described it as a "brutal and horrific" attack.
D/Sergeant McColgan said "Whilst these injuries are not life threatening, this was a brutal and horrific attack. It is yet another example of how criminal groups seek to control communities through fear and violence. I would appeal to anyone who noticed any suspicious activity or vehicles in the area to contact Detectives at Coleraine on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 1051 04/03/18. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Criemstoppers on 0800 555 111, which is anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
