Man slashed by armed robbers
A man is being treated in hospital after he was slashed during an armed robbery in south Belfast.
Three masked men, who were armed with knives, entered a home on Kilburn Street, near Donegall Road, at around 11.30pm last night and demanded money from the man who was alone inside.
The man, who is Chinese and does not understand English very well, was then led from room to room as the raiders searched for money.
Although slashed several times in the face and body during the robbery, the man was able to walk to a nearby restaurant and raise the alarm after the ordeal.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
