Police appeal following weekend attacks
Police have appealed for information following two separate attacks at the weekend.
In Co Tyrone a teenager was abducted and beaten by four masked men at around 5.30pm on Saturday. The victim was walking along Woodview Crescent in Trillick when he was set upon by the men.
They dragged him into a white Transit van and drove him to a farm outhouse where they proceeded to beat him. He was later dumped at Armstrong's Cross. He then had to make his way back to Trillick on foot, where he reported the incident to the police.
He suffered cuts and bruises during the assault.
Elsewhere, a 40-year-old man was assaulted at his home in Co Down on Saturday.
Three masked men entered the man's home at Ashgrove in Newtownards at about 9pm on Saturday. They proceeded to beat the man with baseball bats before assaulting a second man in his 20's who was also in the house.
A number of shots are believed to have been fired before the three masked men left the property.
It is understood that no-one was injured by the shots.
