Woman sexually assaulted in Coleraine
Police are appealing for information following a serious sexual assault in Co Antrim at the weekend.
The female victim, believed to be in her early twenties, left licensed premises in the town centre around 1am on Saturday and walked towards the Windy Hall area, on the Newbridge Road close to Causeway Hospital.
As she crossed rough ground three men attacked her while one carried out the assault.
