A man has been hit with a gun during an aggravated burglary that occurred in the Hillman Street area of north Belfast on Tuesday evening.
Police said that at about 20:15 three men dressed in dark hooded tops and with scarves over their faces entered a house in the area. One of the men was armed with a gun.
A 24-year-old man who was in the house at the time was made to lie on the bathroom floor while the men searched the house.
