Nightclub doorman in 'critical condition' following attack

Police are appealing for information after a nightclub doorman was left in a critical condition in hospital after being attacked by up to 10 men at the weekend.

The incident occurred at the Chimney Corner Hotel on the outskirts of Belfast at around 2.30am on Sunday.

The injured man, who is believed to be in his 50s, was attacked by the men around one hour after a disco had finished.

Police described the incident as "horrendous" and have appealed for anyone with information to contact them, particularly taxi drivers and people who were perhaps waiting for a lift at the time.
