Appeal For Information On 'Brutal Attack' In L'Derry
The PSNI have issued an appeal for information following the "brutal attack" on a man in the Lecky Road area of L'Derry on Tuesday 25 October.
According to reports, a 38-year-old man was attacked by two men wielding iron bars, outside flats, shortly before 9pm. He was subsequently taken to hospital for treatment of injuries to his hand, arm and head.
Detective Inspector Stephanie Finlay said: "This was a brutal attack which left the victim with several injuries. Although these injuries are not believed to be life threatening at this time, you can imagine the resulting trauma this vicious attack will have on the victim.
"As we continue with our enquiries, including establishing a motive, I'm appealing to anyone who was on Lecky Road at the time of the assault, or anyone who may have captured dashcam or other footage in the area, to get in touch with us."
Detectives have said that they believe the assault may be linked to another attack on a 35-year-old man on the night of Monday 24th October, in Carnhill, off the Racecourse Road in the city.
Anyone who has information about either or both of these attacks is asked to call 101, and quote reference number 1923 of 25/10/22. Alternatively, you can submit a report online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org/.
