Teenagers assaulted in separate attacks
Two teenage boys have been taken to hospital following separate attacks at the weekend.
In the first incident, an 18-year-old was treated in hospital for head and facial injuries after being found unconscious in front of Enniskillen Courthouse in County Fermanagh in the early hours of Sunday morning.
It is understood that the victim was on his way home, along Town Hall Street, when the police patrol broke up an altercation between him and another group of people.
Following this, the teenager continued on his way home in the direction of East Bridge Street, however, he was found unconscious around ten minutes later, at around 1.20am.
He was taken to hospital, where his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
Some time later in County Antrim, another 18-year-old was taken to hospital after being badly beaten in his home in Lisburn.
Police have said that two men, armed with a baseball bat and a claw hammer, broke into the victim's house in Hertford Crescent at around 3.30pm yesterday, and proceeded to beat the teenager about the body, with the baseball bat.
The men are believed to be in their mid-20s, one is described as being around 6ft tall, of slim build and wearing dark colourd clothing. The other is described as around 5ft 6in tall and was wearing a blue/grey coloured zip up top and a woollen hat.
The pair are understood to have made their escape in an old-style Rover 2000 series, heading in the direction of Moira.
Detectives have appealed to anyone who may have witnessed either attack to contact them on 0845 600 8000, or anonymously on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
