Masked gang beat woman in front of teenage daughter
A woman has been severely beaten in front of her teenage daughter in a paramilitary-style attack in Belfast.
The 30-year-old woman was beaten by a gang of up to 10 masked men who broke into her Tamery Pass house in Willowfield at around 6am this morning.
The woman sustained a broken arm and a broken leg after she was beaten with iron bars. The victim's 12-year-old daughter was in the room while the attack took place.
The gang then ransacked the house and broke all the downstairs windows.
A car at the rear of the house was also damaged in the incident.
Anyone with information should contact detectives at Strandtown on 028 9065 0222.
In a separate incident, a 17-year-old youth was shot in both legs in west Belfast.
The teenager was in his home in Ballymurphy, when masked men broke into his home at around 8.30pm last night.
He was dragged into the back garden of the house where he was shot. The victim was taken to hospital a short time later.
